That looks cool. I'm assuming the air/fuel gauge is a working guage and not just for looks although its hard to tell from the pic, so did you basically lose the whole compartment that was there? It looks like you shaved the handle from the compartment door, then put two screws on either side after cutting the hole on the left to put in the guage. Then that's either the carbon fiber sheet you can buy and stuck on, or you cut your own piece of cf. Am I right? Not something I would do, I'd rather have audio equip there, but thats an awesome project. Post a pic of your entire dash.

Why did you choose to put the Apexi V-AFC in front of your Tach?

I dont even mind the badge. It's not like it's plastered all over the outside of the car. If you like it, keep it.

atleast you actually are "tuning your vtec"
looks good..

That's what I was thinkin'. You are tuning it.

very very niice..but i three things
1. i think it would look better w/ the carbon fiber dash kit (whole dash)
2.why not blue c/f to match ur interior
3. when i get an aftermarket h/u( presuming u are) wouldnt it look a liil weird?
just my 2cents

other than that it looks good

 
Rep Power: 331

ok
1. I only wanted carbon fiber accents (I am makinga few other pieces) to compliment my blue dash
2. At the time I couldnt find blue CF, besides I like how subtle the regular CF looks.
3. If my headunit haddent gotten stolen then I would know how it would look, but I cant see why it would look wierd.f

I am about to go to my garage and finish my shifter plate, Instead of having a boot I have a flat CF plate w/ the shift gate cut out. Unfortunetly my home made short shifter made the gears soo close that the gates overlap..hmm this is gonna be tuff to fabricate.

what size is that gauge. air fule

 
Rep Power: 331

Its a 2 1/16" autometer cobalt series air/fuel gauge.

 
Rep Power: 432

cool i didnt think 2 1/16 would fit there. looks nice. make diy of course

You have to do a little bit of "shaving" with a dremel tool, but other than that it wasnt very hard to make. Ill post a DIY sometime next week, right now im too busy working on my car.
