Default My try at a gauge setup...

No bashing. My plastic skills arent as good as MoreGrips.

Its nothing fancy but I didnt want a pillar pod. I know the gauges are a good bit closer together because of the gauge brackets that sit behind. I didnt want to cut out every little piece of plastic back there either. I wanted it to have some rigidity. It only cost me some time and $18 bucks.

I know its a little late but check these out. I also didn't want a pillar pod. Scroll down about half way to the gauges, I got the one with the switches. Fits really good.

Jared- how do you like that "scan-gauge" thing? I considered getting one of those to avoid replacing the cluster just to get a trans temp gauge, but I want a "factory" looking setup...what are your thoughts?
