definatly creative and if i were to do this the vent idea would be the way to go

im not big on the idea of having a big square cut out in my dash

Vent idea is great, but no dash cut... easily a cop will ask why is ur dash cut and then rip your interior out to find gauges but is looking for DRUGS instead.

I love how my boost gauge is hidden in my car. Just LEDS and a dash.

In an SC you could just have the wood trim on the dash flip down to reveal the Apexis and guages. Good ideas, I like the motorized actions. hah Shadowen, when are you getting your stock dash in? Want some updates!

I'm not going to be able to work on the SC till maybe early spring.
