I agree (I actually think gauges have more of a "cool factor"). I worry about a gauge pod making the car feel even more claustrophobic though. Guess I gotta sit in one w/ them to check 'em out.

Here are my old-school pods on my hood. Fabricated the brackets out of mild steel ... held on with allen head grub screws under the lip of the hood and 3M decal tape. No drilling or alts to the hood necessary! I made the cable cover that is sitting between the gauges out of a recessed handle for a sliding door. Lots of cutting, filling, filing, sanding ... but I'm really happy with the result.

I also don't like pods which is why I went with aeroforce and only need one gauge. In my vette I managed to mount it without a pod and it looks like it belongs there.

I don't know if there is a good spot in the camaro.

Yeah, I am having the feeling that an ADM gauge is going to be the only way for me...

Love A-pillar pods. Here's my Autometer dual pod with Nexus gauges.



I do think that a triple pod would tip the scales into "I can't see shit" territory...

That one at ADM is a Dashtronix
http://www.shop.dashtronix.com/2010-...r-CamaroGP.htm

And at $250 and a relatively easy install it seem like a no brainer. It can show Boost & AFR on your HUD & on radio screen (if you want) You can even run a Valentine 1 or Escort radar through it also....Sick!
