Those are the best three for a SC.

I may have to do a custom setup to keep it stealth... I'm set on having 2 analog guages in the center console. For the 3rd, maybe a digital type....just have to figure out where to put it... My cig tray is used for my bass gain.

Thanks for the props Jeremy.

Here's a couple of pics, and like Jeremy said...I made a second one, and I have a Defi Boost gauge for it, too. It is a custom made piece only for the Defi D-gauge. The gauge mounts from behind to give an truly OEM look. All you see if the glass of the gauge! Also, the gauge is tilted toward the driver. IF you look carefully, you can see the gauge is angled. the lower right portion of the mount is recessed while the upper left corner comes out just a bit. It is some swet fiberglass work if I do say so myself.

Cool, I've seen that before. Not really stealth though...I don't want the car to attract more attention than it already does in parking lots!

It is actually quite stealthy. No one sees it, except the driver. Even your passneger can't see it. the way that it is recess mounted, it doesn't attract any attention. plus, at night, its location is below the window line so other driver's don't see it either. I designed it to be for the driver, as that is who it matters most to!

trust me.....I thief will spot your front mount intercooler well before he spots this gauge. If you want, I'll take some better pics to show you how stealth this gauge is.

...Very true, I didn't think about that!

I took some pics of the extra pod I made a couple months ago. I haven't painted it yet, but these pics allow you to see the recessed/angled mounting much better.

I like that! That would be a perfect spot for the 3rd gauge.

FYI , If you do 52mm gauges you can get three where the NAV goes easily
