Back to the Zeitronix, I have the UTEC tuner and it is always within 0.2 of my Zeitronix. I think it is a great unit for the price. It was up in my sunglasses holder but up there is too hard to see when driving so I moved it over where baileyrx has his.

I still want to make something like Sundeviljay has above. That is still the best look IMO.

I had this one made up. It's not what you are after if you want them hidden, but I have Autometer Nexus gauges and they turn red if any gauge goes into the danger zone. It will immediately catch my attention even if I'm not closely monitoring them. (A/F Left, A/F right, Boost/Vac, Oil pressure, Trans Temp)
Sorry about the glare - I didn't notice.

Sneak peek at something I've been working on for the last year or so:

The white is just sandable primer; I'll probably paint it silver in hopes of matching the aluminum trim. Hopefully I'll be done early next month and post something in the DIY.

That is very clean. I wanted to do something like that but am not willing to give up where I keep my sunglasses and glasses.

Actually, the lid still works. I am running Defi BF gauges, so I keep the control unit in there, but if you ran other gauges or put the controller some place else, the storage space would still be usable. Even with the controller, I can still fit my iPod in there, and I have one of the old-school big white 20gig jobs.

Does it just open part way? I have a big sunglass case that I keep in mine.

I wonder if you could do it with the guages mounted with the lid in the open position, and close it to look stock...
