My new boost and water temp gauge mounts...







Not bad for a homemade job! Turned out killer!

Oh...They're made from 2" PVC and the plate is made from a polished aluminum door kick plate from Schlage. All in all, about $11 in the whole thing. Then wrapped in 3M Di-Noc film. My dash and door panels are wrapped in Di-Noc as well, so its a perfect match. Installing this this week, so I will update soon.

They looks fantastic. How hard was the wrap job?

Nice!
You might have to bend the mount a little, to clear the dash, especially on the right side. I curved mine on both sides for symmetry, when I made one.

Yeah, I will. When I test fit it, I noticed that. Yours inspired me! Thanks Dave!
