Wow, thats a cool idea. I really like it because in my car anyways that vent seems really cruddy, so It's not like losing an air vent.

Hm, that's a good one. I don't think I've ever seen someone put gauges there. It's pretty low key too, me likey.

Looks good, that is some quality work you have there. However, I have a question, how will you run the wires to the door without having problems with closing them in the door etc?

wires - no problem. how do you think the power door locks work, just put new wires in the existing loom

Prety cool. NISMO makes one like that but it's on the right side so props for taking the initiative =)

I'm considering trying to make one like that now. What materials did you use? Doesn't look like fiberglass.
