check out my custom gauge location on my sedan.

https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-drivetrain-forced-induction/66718-custom-gauge-pod-driver-s-defrost-vent-pics.html

I posted the pics in the "modifications" section, but I figured that some of the sedan owners might find this link useful.

This only took about 3 to complete. The hardest part was figuring out if everything would fit.

The pics are so dark I couldn’t really see what you did – I tried copying them to my computer and adjusting the brightness, but it just got washed out and pixilated. I like that many of us are doing unique things to our sedans (besides the standard lowering and rims).

Can you raise the brightness and post? I’d really like to see what you did.

here's abrighter picture from a better angle. You can see how I angle the gauge toward the driver.

Sorry about the camera shake, I was using a long exposure to get the pic to come out right.

The previous pics are dark to show how the gauge looks at night. The D-gauges are decently close to the factory lighting.

The flash kept blowing out the shot. I have A nikon D70 DSLR w/ a nikon speedlite. I was just too close to the subject to get it right. The speedlite is pretty strong, even with a diffuser. I had all the lights off in the garage. I started by taking night shots to get a good shot of the gauge "glow." I'm sure if I wanted to take more time, I could do better on the photography, but I just wanted to rush some pics onto the forums.

I know you want to show the gauge illuminated, but it might be easier to show what you did by taking a pic outside in daylight with doors open.

From what I can see thought it looks cool!
