Wes, Forgive the direct contrariness of this ... a view of my solution: http://groups.msn.com/BobsPhotoShare/87westysyncro.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=824 That is a 2004 Subaru WRX 3-gauge pod. I shaved the back edge of it (nearest the windshield) so it would sit flat on the dash. No cutting or messing with the dash. The wires fit into the ash tray hole and the pod is just high enough so that the rear-bottoms of the gauges clear the dash. Oil temp and pressure and coolant temp. All from eguages, pod included. That pod angles the gauge faces toward the driver.
