guages in place of the ash trey??
i was wondering if any1 has heard of a place/someone that sells this. i want 2 guages (oil press. and water temp) instead of an ash trey. i like going for the more sleeper look (my car appearance now is stock,aside from being lowered). my monster tach is mounted under the center vents,so thats off limits now.
a while back,i saw some1 put 3 digital guages in place of the ash trey and had it all molded in flat and everything,w/ a clear piece of thin lexan or somethin like that over them,but thats a little more than i want.
i know most people dont think "uh oh,hes got guages...must be a fast car"..especially since ricers in slammed honda's w/ a fart pipe throw 2-3 guages in the A-piller and prob. 99% of the time the car will wont run faster than 15's lol. eventually i want to put mechanical guages in so i know they are right and dont have to rely on the 16 year old electrical 3rd gen guages.
any info is appreciated,thanks

i dont know of a business that makes it, but one of the mods has a pretty nice custom digital displays in the ashtray. i wanna say it was MetalliCamaroRS but im not absolutely positive. it doesn't look like it'd be that hard to fabricate, and its not very expensive either(minus the gauges, of course).

Yup it's Willie. He has a nice setup. Do a search for more details.
