I'm looking to throw in two Volt gauges so I can monitor my two amps for the stereo system, basically it will be just for show

oooh...that would be hot. you just gave me an awesome idea. how cool would it be to put like an equalizer guage, or like an round LCD (if they make those) where you can hook it up to change the output...kind of like on WinAmp.
maybe have 2 pods and the second one can have like outside temp/compass/stuff like that. like you said, its for show since theyre not performance related, but they still can serve a good purpose.
thanks for the idea.

Nobody makes a gauge pod for our cars yet. I spoke with auto meter the other day and they said that it should be coming out in a couple of months. I was also looking for one for my nitrous pressure but no luck yet. You can buy the gauge but the pod is what i couldn't find. They say that there are some ones that are universal but there not too pretty. Good luck dude. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Welcome to the site! I am interested in your gauge pods as well, do you have any pics or can you tell us how they are attached? Thanks.

Well...can't really post more pics yet...can't give away our new products before we launch them
[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
We aren't designing pods....we are making other stuff...
But since it's a show car..you can't neglect anything...so the interior has blue carpet, the gauges (it'll have the new Cobalt Monster tach/real carbon fiber cup) Corbeau front seats, harnesses, pads, etc...
[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

You guys will see it soon enough...



BTW, it'll have new BBS 18" wheels that aren't released yet either.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Suspension is Progress Group 2" drop springs, Thermal Exhaust (full polished cat back) AEM SRI, Cam Gear, Pulley, etc...

Can you still open the door and put cd's in there even with the gauges installed?

That'd be awesome

True....True dat...LX auto doesnt even need one tach...But all the gauges were free from autometer...and It's a booth car...so it needs to grab attention. noone will know that it's an LX anyway..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Its all about getting people to say "woah..check out that bad-**** civic" to reel them in to see our parts.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

BTW..it's getting a full custom paint job etc... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
