I saw this: http://www.sr20forum.com/techn....html and it inspired me. What do y'all think? Still debating wether to put water temp or boost gauge. I'm thinking boost.

Eh, looks way too out of place. Just mount the gauge elsewhere.

I agree. Doesn't look like it belongs. Would look much better on a piller gauge pod or on the dash.

Yeah....it does look out of place. BUT I really don't like gauges on the pillar, or the dash. Just my opinion. I got a spare cluster, so I won't cry if I don't like it.

I agree, I can't stand obnoxious, obvious gauges. You could always relocate the radio to the glove box and make a gauge pod in the din area.

Relocate the radio? Nah, I want it easily accessible. I Already got 3 gauges in the din area. I'm trying to keep the interior very subtle.

You probably already know what I'm going to say about it. But if all you care about is functionality, then you have accomplished that goal.

Definitely functional. Again, it does not flow the best but if you like the way it looks then do it!

Good effort, but like everyone has said before doesn't quite flow with the rest of the cluster. How's the illumination with the lights on? Compared with the stock gauges?

Looks terrible.

HKS made a small boost gauge that was the perfect replacement for the oem boost gauge on mk2 mr2's.
