Dash Hawk bit the dust...
Hey all, my dash hawk bit the dust, I can't get it to work after my batteries went dead a couple weeks ago and I'm thinking about switching to a-pillar gauges. I was wondering if someone could post a pic of their cab with a-pillar gauges in it to get an idea of what it might look like. I think I'm gonna do 3 on the pillar and get the pod to hold two near the factory gauge cluster, does anyone have that pod and if so do you like it? Thanks!

I've got pictures of all my gauges and where they are located up and running in my gallery. I think they would give you a good idea of what can be done.

EWWW a gasser in the diesel forums!!! j/k man. I love the look of your phantom gauges, IMO they are the best looking gauges that auto meter makes. I have 8 of them in my mustang lol. Thanks for the pics!!!

Instead of the dash pod (looks cheesy) consider mounting two in the dash like I did.

I've seen pics of that pod installed and it just looks cheap and alien to me. Also, the additional gauges in the corners cover up part of the stock cluster.

The only gauge that really gets covered up in that those in the fuel gauge, the other side are just idiot gauges. I'm assuming the layout of the gauge cluster wasn't all that different from 03-04s to the 05-07s.
