Cool To All My FI Bro's Running Gauges... (Pics Posted)

Two attempts and two months later my fab. shop finally got it right with my custom triple pod A-pillar
I added 2 new Greddy peak/hold memory (oil and fuel pressure) gauges about two months ago to go along with my boost gauge. The shop first tried to just fabricate two additional pods to my original custom A-pillar, but between the pods not lining up perfect enough for me and the vinyl job leaving a little more to be desired, I had them rebuild it all over from scratch. I'm exceptionally happy that we were able to get them all up on the pillar without having to resort to sacrificing air vents or having them mounted lower out of my field of view. Finally I can now move forward to the next round of mods

Nice. People going by would either assume FI or poser, but they would wonder something. No sleeper here.

Ed- it was custom made out of fiberglass and wrapped in oem Lexus vinyl, we also pulled the other A-pillar to rewrap in the same vinyl to match so it all looks clean and factory. I've got my SAFCII in my ashtray and I like that where it is. After the first attempt not working out so well they thought about custom mounting them into the dash in place of where the blinker lights are but the steering wheel would've blocked them too much, so I had them try again on the pillar and they came through solid the second time around
