Its cool but you should have used wood that matched better IMO. If it doesnt bother you then all the power to you...

Very nice. Dumb question: What are those guages measuring? Pressure?

The cherry wood is real and the stain was close as I could get to the OEM. Overall it looks fine to me. Maybe a 8.5 out of 10. The EGT is Exhaust Gas Temp.

I just had my A-pilars wraped in vinyl to match the grey interior vinyl/leather rather than the felt cloth as the roof material. I hade an Auto Meter 2 gauge pod sewn in as one piece, it looks sweeeet. 10 out of 10 I will post pics soon.

Perception is a strange thing, I was actually thinking that the wood you used was quite a good match... oh well, to each his own.
How's the car doing? I seem to recall you had some issues with UPRD... hope everything worked out OK!

Weird, your one picture is reversed, as in everything is backwards.

Very clean job, looks great!! I just pulled out my ashtray and put my boost controller and power meter looks pretty sloppy. I need to fill up the space with some other items, just undecided...

Default Apex'i gauges are nice

I think it looks great. I haven't been here in a while so I just felt that I needed to get my 2cents out. Oh, I use to have those gauges too....
