New Gauges installed!
Here's a picture of the custom gauges Kleemann made for me.
On the left is the Boost gauge and the right Fuel Pressure.
I'll post a clearer picture when the lighting is better.
What do ya think?

At first it was a little distracting and it could be very dangerous if you are not paying attention. The Pillar location didn’t work because the gauges are too deep. This location is a little more discrete.

PS
Don’t hate me because the gauges are beautiful! LOL

I like to keep an eye out on the performance of my cars. Knowing the boost level and fuel pressure level can help prevent problems.
I also like to be a little different!

Too low - Is it hard to read - May only problem with May NAV is the position of it - With the speeds I travel at, One glance down to check where I am and 1/4 mile goes by - Question: Did they offer a higher mount option ? Anyhow - as always timster your a cut above the rest - Enjoy

Yeap the location is a little low. But with the options I have in the car it's really the only place to put additional gauges. With out a total redesign, and I wasn't interested in doing that.
They fit my needs and look good to!
Thanks for the input,
Tim

I can do that but it will take some time.
I'll need to have a passanger to make it safe.
Not cool to be driving and taking pictures at the same time.
I'll post it then. I'll presume you want full boost pictures! LOL

No longer car shopping...
Any plans for run a drag time?
Do you have any plans to see how quick the beast is now on a 1/4 mile? I know the issue now is probably more of running through the tires but would love to see what you can do. Would love to see a few guys in tricked out cameros cry!

Shine,
Thanks for post the gauge picture. WOW, over load!
With all those gauges the driver cannot read them he would need a navigator.
Even F1 cars don't give that much information to to the driver.
Most of it is transmitted to the race team to desipher.
As for having the gauges in a digital format in the command screen.
That would be awesome. I asked about that before I installed my gauges. The software that would need to be added would over whelm the system
Good thought though.
Maybe some after market company will come up with an add on system.
Cheers,
Tim
