I am trying to figure out the best material to use for my center console to mount my Autometer Gauges and Stereo. I have three gauges(A/F, Oil Press, Water temp) that will fit horizontally (either below or above my stereo.) I was thinking about attempting to make the gauge mount myself, does anyone have any suggestions on what material to use? What would look good with the almond trim?
Maybe something like THIS, but the gauges will have to be straight across to fit my stereo. I know there are alot of creative minds in here...........Suggestions?????????????

use a piece of wood and use bondo to smooth it out, then paint it. or use a piece of plexi glass and spray paint it.

What color spray paint? Should I make it look almond? What do you think Silver would look like with the SPORT COMP Silver faced Autometers?

that pod will work too...i would just go with black if your putting it under the radio.

I think the guages mounted under the radio in the console would look better than those pods. I like the idea of custom stuff better. Just my $.02

I agree, I appreciate the suggestion of mounting the gauges on the A-Pillar, but I have considered that already and feel that it would rob me of my "SLEEPER" look.
I think I will go ahead and paint the piece that I mount to Black....
Fiberglass or Aluminum?

Try milling a cluster out of a sheet of alluminum, or pollished stainless. that would look hot. Another idea is to get some plexy, but I think you already thought of that. You could use fiberglass, but what a pain in the ass.

LOL!! Thanks fellas!!! You should see the other gifs I have of the same chick...She is doing better things to herself!!!! But, out of respect to the Moderators..... I have refrained from using them. I think I will try the aluminum plate approach. I'll keep you guys updated.

just use the din kit that mounts 3 guages.

I had an idea once where you would take aa A pillar guage pod and have it custom molded into the side of the center console and repainted to match the car. It would look kind of like the old Vipers.
