Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

I don't know if there will be enough room... you need a spot 2 1/16" in Diameter and about 3" deep to mount it.

Here's another creative idea for you...
You need a piece of aluminium and Autometer Angle rings ($7.99 for 3)

I relocated the Cig Lighter to the passenger side of the center console.

I like boilmaker's idea... and if you did put those gauges in where would you put the vent and heater controls?

RoadRunner is an unknown quantity at this point

you could relocate those controls to the center console, just about the ebrake handle. like what derek did on his ride, it is pimp

dude that looks crazy civicvtech1ps i like it. what i did was drilled into the center console between the cup holder and the shifter its a good place and you don't need a pod or bezel.
