Question Guage Pod advice needed...

I have tried searching and couldn't find anything here. Then I went to Autometer's website and searched there with no luck. Even went to Propod and searched there. I need to put 2 more guages in my civic when I get a turbo put in and I already have a triple pillar pods installed with 3 other guages (Oil Temp, Voltmeter, Oil Pressure). My question to all of you is, I need ideas where I can put the other 2!

I don't like the cluster pods because they block the Fuel and Temp guages. So that's not and option (wish it was tho). And I have seen the guages in the cup-holders idea and don't want to lose where I put my drinks

So I need ideas. I tried to find where I could get like a dash mounted pod, but I can't seem to find one.

Thanks guys.

I might be wrong, but I think Ractive makes that gauge bezel. It covers most of your water temp and gas gauge on the stock gauge console though.

In the Cig lighter panel. Then just extend the lighter wires and mount the lighter in the center console.


I might actually be willing to sell this face plate. I'm working on an angled plate that I can flush mount the gauges on rather than using the angle rings like I have now. Just have to see how it turns out.

Another idea would be to get rid of the oil temp and volt meter in your cluster and replace 'em with more useful guages. Digital car audio volt meters would work fine too ... and they can be found in all sizes and colors to blend it into your ICE. As for oil temp ... pressure is what you are more concerned with, so keep that guage. Too many guages will look cheesy anyway.

Put one in the coin dish or you can get some of the pods that are on suction cups for the windshield. I saw them in super street one month

Read above dude, that's not the one he wants! And I wouldn't put gauges in the cup holders, or ashtray or coin holder, or even visors, I mean, you're supposed to be able to read these gauges as you drive, not have to look arround you for the read out. So far the best idea I've heard is to use suction cups and put them on the windshield, or you can have them like old Dech Mustangs and have them on the hood facing inside.
But it would probably be easyest to remove some of the less usefull gauges and put these in, too many gauges will look cheezy and you can't possibly read them all.

I put my other gauge right under my center console. I'll post some pics soon. Just need to scan them.
