TRD Vitz Gauge Cluster

[Vanderkitten]

We are measuring and mocking up a stealth gauge cluster that mounts INSIDE the glove box. It's going to be a love it or hate it thing for most of you. There is a reason we are doing it though. Our cars are going to have the ZPI turbos, and we want a real boost gauge, tach w/shift light, and a real temp gauge. The problem with the obvoius dash/A=pillar mount is OBVIOUSNESS.

We don't want to make it known there's a little more going on under the hood. When somebody looks in one of the cars we want them to see a big, goofy speedo in the middle of the dash with no tach. They'll decide: "POSER" and laugh themselves away.

Then, BAM, we open the glovebox to reveal the gauges when we want to go hunting or are at the track. M-F Stealth, S-S Race Ready. Anyhow, opinions are welcome... I'll mock it up later.

Sounds cool... But maybe it's just me, having the glovebox open when driving just seems so weird...

So... crazy idea maybe, but why not replace the glove box lid with a piece of curved plexiglass, maybe smoked so you don't see the gauges till they light up?
