boost gauge?

was thinking of fitting the above (and probs oil temp & pressure) to the din slot between air con' and radio. Want to keep the look of the car as subtle as possible so don't want pillar mounts etc.
Anyone got any pics?

Re: boost gauge?

'Auto Gauges' look more 'standard' and not at all 'boy-racer':

the gauge surround is actually silver and it appears black when the ignition is off.

Re: boost gauge?

I got mine from an ebay seller, E-Automart [e_automart@yahoo.com]
None listed at the moment though. Might be worth contacting him as he was very helpful.
