    Exclamation Modified the triple gauge cluster...

    Modified the triple gauge cluster in my car. Using an autometer angle ring, I repointed the trans temp gauge back in my general direction...

    My paint match isn't exact, but it's alot better than what it looks like in the picture dangit!!

    V1 is hard wired in... Hardwired it into the power for the gauge cluster and routed the wire up the A pillar, under the headliner and it pops out right where the detector is mounted at the top of the windshield...

    Same place and way I installed my V1.
    Gauge install looks great. I think you are getting better each time you do it.

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Is there any reason why you didn't add the rings to the other two stock gauges? I would have to make things look more complete. I did it in my Cobra.

    It looks great,

    I bet only you would notice the paint. (I do that all the time, look too close at my own work.)

    Is it me or is there a light between the first & 2nd guages?

    ...The stock two gauges are already canted towards the drivers. The 3rd gauge with the ring on my cluster is in a perfect symmetrical line...

    Yes, That LED between the first and second gauge is actually the Lidar jammer power/alert LED...
