For some reason I have never noticed this section of the forums.

Here is what I made for my car. Had to make the radio bezel to fit the Kenwood touch screen Navi setup.
Also in the shot are some of the guage pods I made to keep an eye on the motor. Center dash is painted to match the body color of the car from the ac controls all the way up to the 3 guages up top.

Know to build a box and amp board.

 

Gauges much? Boosted?

 

Boosted? Oh Yes... very much so.
Guages from left to right.
Wide band, J&S Knock competer, Fuel pressure, Boost, EGT

I was trying to make it as factory as possible. Most people get in my car and have bo idea of what has been done. I like that.

 

I think anybody who climbs into a car and see's all those gauges and pods, will know something has been done to the car lol

 

You would be surprised. Except if they really know a Maxima. The three over the the ac vents were meant to look like the 350z (kinda) and yes the one over the steering column stuck out way too much so I am actually movin it to were the J&S unit is and John from J&S is making me a single LED to warn me of knock that I will mound the insturment cluster.

 

those three guages in the middle look hot

i wish i was boosted so i would have an excuse to have them

 

Thanks it took me 2 setups before I got something that I really liked... the first one looked really awful.

 

You know to tell the truth, I'm not really feeling it inside there. No offense LatinMax, what you've done is great and took a fair amount of work I'm sure, and it's better than anything I can do. But the gauges behind the wheel feel cramped and the ones above the AC, just not feeling the corner molding on them.

And I too wish I had some excuse to have gauges XD I have a CAI? Maybe I'll get some AF Gauges, like three...and tell people its really important

 

I respect your opinion. Cramped? Sure anything beyond factory is going to be cramped... the car was not designed to have all those gauges, but it wasn't designed to have 300+ hp either. So it is all relative i guess. I just did not want the normal A pillar gauge pod that screamed "look at me" and tryied to do something alittle more along the lines of the car.

Thanks for the comments.

 

Yeah, thanks for the respect, I know some people who don't take opinions well and I was a little hesitant to give my 0.02, I understand where your coming from with the pillar gauges, they've become pretty mainstream especially after being mainstreamed by the media (fast and the furious anyone?)

Something I think that would work really well in our cars is something along the lines of who Mitsubishi did their Evo's, using a single din for 3 gauges, Your using a Kenwood Navi i see, that should have the functionality of the unit below it? you could always use that space. Thoughts?
