GRD experiments with a custom boost gauge (on a G35)

The tech's at GRD (Naperville, IL) put this together....replaced the stock clock....I think it looks pretty neat, they used a 60mm defi BF boost gauge:

EXACTLY what I had in mind, but couldn't find anywhere. As a matter of fact, I was warming up to post an inquiry to see if anyone knew where a guage could be found that would fit in the clock opening. The only thing I would prefer would be if the gauge were small enough to fit recessed like the clock for complete stealth. But maybe it would be too small to read easily.

most aftermarket gauges come in either 52mm or 60mm size... perhaps a 52mm would be more low profile and wouldn't need to stick out as much. btw this is a pimp install, but i'd never be able to use it because of the stock navi screen

Quick question for ya....why do you need to read your Navi and your boost gauge at the same time?
