And what do you do when it is real hot or real cold? Where I live those vents are critical for heating and cooling the cabin.

I also was thinking in TX you need all the vents you can in Summer. Does look good though.

XXL's design is better, leaves the vents as is.

I guess I am curious as to what I need more guages for. With the SS I already have a tach and Boost guage. I do like the look, but being in the south I also need my vents. The original ideas are always appreciated though.

Its the same reason someone buys a red car versus a blue car..... Personal Choice, and too much free time!

The best answer for this is many of us are running what is called a interceptor scan gauges from Aeroforce. There is a whole thread on this item here.

It scans and reads a lot of info. Here is their web site as it explains and has demo's. This is a great tool for the HHR and installs in less than 20 min.

http://www.aeroforcetech.com/

I love this item as it gives me all sorts of data and info. I can get every thing frm tranny temp to my 1/4 mile time etc. This little tool will do for half what the other larger scan panels do. It also is a lot easier to fit.

Once you buy one you will wonder what took you so long.
