I don't know Poke, I can't see it....Can ya blow it up a little ???

It depends on what you're going to fill the holes with and what gauges you already have in your dash. IMO, holes on the dash and interior sheet metal is something you regret later on.

I'm with C-10volvo on this one. Drilling holes into interior sheetmetal dosn't look good when you decide to remove the pod. Been there, done that, regret.

Dont do it.

Rodms · 02-27-2009, 12:01 AM

Theres nothing there!!!! If you want gauges that work go buy some,they're not that high and manual gauges are way more precise than electric,you will know whats going on anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

andrewmp6 · 02-27-2009, 12:36 AM

I'm with them use your factory cluster holes.Gauges that low are kinda a pain to look at also.I would be looking more at a pillar mounts or on top of the dash pad make sure you can see the gauges.

willett · 02-27-2009, 01:03 AM

even if you do throw that in, and get more gauges nothing is going to match that crappy "generator" gauge anyways

i planned on takin that one out

JohnC · 02-27-2009, 02:08 PM

yeah I would do aftermarket gauges in the dash before the one down low. Like stated above they would be a hassle to see.

pokethesmot · 02-27-2009, 02:36 PM

i already have guages done in my dash and i gues i wont add that just sell it

thirdstreettito · 02-27-2009, 07:33 PM

I want that for my truck, I'll put Tranny temp, EGT, then eventually boost.
