Gauges

Hello Diesel Freaks,

Man have I learned alot about diesel mods. I am looking to start with gauges (as you have instructed so many of us to do). I have seen some gauge panels that mount just above the rear view mirror. Does anyone here have these? Pros? Cons? I prefer this look to the panels along the windshield.

What do you say?

The overhead gauge panel is nice, but the three gauge pod overhead unit made by Autometer has to be used with Autometer gauges, because of their depth.
I was going to use two ISSPRO gauges and they did not fit right
I ended up going with the under the pocket gauge panel and I like the look better and the gauges were two Autometer, WATER TEMP and DIFF TEMP and one ISSPRO VOLT GAUGE
want pics?
what color is your interior? I have the spare overhead in grey

Pics would be great! I have a tan interior. Any other placement options?

I think you can a 1-2-3-4 gauge A pillar pod, a center dash pod(3 gauge), overhead rear view mirror(3 gauge), and or the steering wheel gauge face unit and the under pocket 3 gauge pod.

I think you can find pics of the gauge pods at www.autometer.com

I surfed around a bit and can't seem to find pics of anything but the A pillar.

If you look at my gallery, you'll see I mounted mine in Carbon Fiber cups by AutoMeter on the dash above the radio. Pics show three gauges, but I have four now.

Thanks. Nice! My taste calls for something more discrete. Any photos wiht the under the dash mount out there? Above the mirror?

Thanks 6L.

This is the set up I have with Dipricol optix gauges. Easy to see, but discreet at the same time.
