Yes!! Finally have something worth posting here in my build thread.

Here are some shots of my newest addition:

PLX devices gauge screen mounted inside my rear view mirror! These shots are from the obd2 sensors, the car wasnt running. (sleeping baby). Will be adding Afr sensor/module and BOOST module on the 18th, along with a little whipple.

I'll get some action video tomorrow!!

I went with PLX devices because of the complete programmability of their screens. There are literally thousand of ways to set up the readout. It can record data, set warning lights to go off, custom skins of the gauge itself.
And, they are a local company! Even better.

I bought an extra mirror from a member, but not needed. I just keep all my stock stuff, for some dumb ass reason. $40

http://www.radar-mirror.com/

Has all the goods. Took about 3 weeks, because the PLX screen is a little dimmer than the AEM setup, so they had to order a special mirror glass piece to make it work. Sent them my extra mirror, they sent it back with all the PLX goodies.

The mirror setup was right around $500, plus the 2 modules for boost and Afr were another $400 or so.

Not a cheap mod, but I really, really hate gauge pillar pods and everything else out there for our cars, so it's worth it to me.

Oh forgot to mention... When the gauge is off, you can't even tell anything is different with the mirror. Looks 100% stock. There's an extra wire that runs from the back of the mirror, through the headliner and down the a pillar, which connect to the guge module. Totally stealth.

Too cool. Looks great!

And did I hear WHIPPLE?!?!

Redemption · 09-07-2012, 08:27 AM

Yes sir! Finally getting installed on the 18th. It's been sitting at the shop for awhile now, tempting and teasing me with its boost.

Ive been waiting until I had a gauge setup that I liked.

*mlee* · 09-07-2012, 08:30 AM

Very Cool mirror mod...

...and next up a Whipple..

Redemption · 09-07-2012, 08:38 AM

Yep! Picked it up from Nick (shardik) a couple months back for a great price, and I've been un-patiently waiting to install it. :woot:

*Mindz* · 09-07-2012, 11:33 AM

Congrats on the whipple Jason. That PLX in the mirror is B-E-AU-tiful!

Redemption · 09-07-2012, 11:47 AM

Thanks J! After being in the little sun today, I'll definitely need to change the colors of the text. Can't see the red worth a damn.

And I hope it's my temp power rig up that is causing the radio noise.

Looks awesome Jason, I love the PLX gauges I have. Let me know when the Whipple is getting installed!

Redemption · 09-07-2012, 02:01 PM

Wednesday the 18th. Playing hooky from work and hanging at the shop all day.
