Yes, but I don't like how they have it above the gauges...unless they've changed something lately I don't know about...

The gauge appears to be silver-faced rather than white and can be backlit to match the stock gauges. Every other gauge on the market appears to either be white rather than silver and/or around-the-dial lit.

I put my boost gauge under the center console, in modified an A-pillar gauge pod from Autozone.. stole the cigarette lighter's power and hid all the wiring under the pod and through the slots in the plastic panel..

1. Where did you get that shift boot? It looks great and suspiciously like a CV joint boot.
2. What kind of seats do you have? Ah, "Sparco Milano black leather seats" is in your profile.
3. Does the panoramic mirror actually help in the MINI?

I am very partial to Autometer gauges but don't like the around-the-dial lighting. But as it stands now, I am probably going to settle for either Ultra Lites with around-the-dial lighting (what you appear to have) or Ultra Lite IIs with (the wrong color) LED backlighting.

As Tuls says...
Thats Unpossible.
No way will GNAT ever upstage the MSFITOY. I still look to you for inspiration and new ideas.

Hands down the single nicest interior I've ever seen on a MINI.

Here a few of my new boost gauge...I went with the Pro Comp Marine one b/c it has the chrome bezel and I like the look of it with the carbon fiber gauge cup.

Pro-comps blend well with the MINI tach in daylight.

Here is the 25psi 52mm version:

Not as close a match as the AutoMeter face but the SW is through-the-dial lit and can be fitted with an orange bulb.

What are the square gauges underneath the toggle switches and what do they read out? I've honestly never seen anyone use those types before its pretty interesting.
