hope you don't have trouble loading CDs with the radio on the bottom, if you're in 1/3/5th gear its going to be a tight fit..

but i do like how it all looks, gauges all identical. pretty well put together there.. you didn't link to who had the gauge stuff?

are those autometers mechanical or electric, what models and cost ?

before I dropped the CA in I drove around with the Headunit on the bottom and a DIN pocket on top and its actually perfect, theirs really no complications, its also angled so that even if your 1/3/5th gear you can still pop a cd in or push the buttons.

I edited my post to put the link but I'll add it again.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

The Autometer gauges all Electric except for Boost. They are called Autometer Z Series. They cost about $30-$50.

Boost was $51Oil and Water Temp $36EGT $135 with everythingOil Pressure was $47

did your vent pod come anodized or powder coated black, or was it shiny and you just painted it? (mine came brushed)

I've got the same setup w/ the AutoMeter Z-series gauges. They work well for the price! Mine is almost finished, happy to see what it'll look like. Looks factory!
