Talking New gauges installed

Did the install today. Thanks to bartSS' great air vent mod with the gauges, the install took 5 min. These are really cool gauges. Hav'nt driven with them yet , As i had some refreshments during the bears game. Brett looked great.

You should add slots to the ABS plastic around the gauges to maintain some functionality, however minimal.

Did you block the airflow from the back of the gauges? I would be cautious about running the heat from the upper vents too long if you didn't.

They're going to get hot in there. Hope you blocked the ducting so as not to overheat the Aeroforce Interceptors.

It was a great price , Thanks again brother bart , I love em ! If i decide that i miss the vents, they'll go in a dual gauge pod where the original boost gauge sits, But i'm diggin there location now.

These gauges should have come stock on the SS .
