Needed a spot for the nitrous gauge. Well I found an old door piece laying around and had a 51mm hole saw...hmmmmmmmmm

Here it is! I personally have never seen any gauge in this spot, I love it. Idea just popped in my head.

looks sweet better than gauge pod on the pillar and probably a lot cheaper.

thats pretty neat, but its also impractical. the whole point of a gauge is to be able to see it while driving, with that your gonna need to look completely away from the road.

its something cool for a show tho. good idea.

Its nitrous pressure, I only need to look at it once before I go down the track. Open bottle, look at bottle pressure, and go.

I like it because it is stealthy, it keeps it out of sight. I am going to have a Kenne Bell installed in my car as soon as it comes in. I ordered a gauge pod, that replaces the stock trim around the factory gauge cluster. Autometer makes this piece, and it holds two gauges down low and out of sight.

Very Nice, Dave.

There's no need to keep your eye on an N20 pressure gauge while driving. Open the bottle, turn on the warmer, check the pressure and hit it.

That looks really kickass man. Nice job.

I don't even have a gauge in the cabin. My heater has a pressure sensor that will keep the bottle at any desired PSI.

I do open the trunk and make sure the warmer is doing it's magic, but aside from that its gonna do what its gonna do.
