I like this look and the location, where it puts the gauges close to eye level. Didn't like the price.

But what I was thinking about was possibly using that gauge pod that Summit (and others) sell, the one that mounts on the pillar, only try it on the dash pad. If the gauge angle is about right and if the mounting flange will mold to a OEM style dash pad, then with a little mod to the dash pad for the gauge umbilicals and a recovering, it might do the trick. I haven't had the opportunity to monkey with this yet. Just a suggestion in case anyone with a pod like this handy wanted to check it out.
