oh yeah!!!!!!

but the hennessy one is ugly. it takes away from the nice, clean, straight-line look of the camaro.:slice:

thats pretty bad...

why not take out one of the useless guages from the 4 cluster and stick it there?....I mean lets be honest a couple of those in there really are pointless.

It does look pretty cheesy, why not do something with the A-pillar?

I got one from Speed of Sound for my Mach1 and it is made with the same material as my a-pillar cover with custom mounted pods to install any guage you want.

See pic...

I wish there was a way to to a digital numerical boost meter on the DIC. I had that daydreamed for a LSA Z28.

That style of gauge does even fit that car. It clashs the whole interior.

Cobalt would prolly fit it closer, but even then I dont think it would look the best.

If I had no way to create a program ap for DIC that was accurate in real-time, I would mount it in the a-pillar location and use a Autometer nexus gauge. I think that would be the best:

Nexus Gauge style:

Nexus gauge have lots of features to complement a new 2010 Camaro SS. Plus has color toggle options. If I was going to build up a SC Camaro, I wouldnt cheap out on the gauges.

Here is something similar to what you're looking for, I know it doesn't match, but it's something...

dankss · 05-29-2009, 01:27 PM

you could make something to replace or fit into the stock gauge pod system

I think this may be correct. I believe there is an upper airbag in that A-pillar location, do not know for sure. So if deployed it could fire across the car. There needs to be a digital or rectangular small gauge that can be useed and look close to factory in another location. Maybe one of our tuners like a Lingenfelter will innovate something. Hope so.

Hmm, I really think that making a boost gauge that would fit in the console gauges would look much better. Right or wrong, pillar pods always remind me of ricers.
