Yeah but the autometer is $30 before shipping and I just paid $24 shipped for mine.


And I bet the $6 yours will fit like . You get what you pay for in gauges and accessories, I learned that a LONG time ago.

If $35 is too much (Summit doesn't charge shipping, and it's only $5 per order no matter how large), then find a local speed shop that can order it and give you a discount. Every once in awhile the local Baxter's runs a special on Auto Meter gauge pods for $20.

Erm...I thought summit charged $9 an order for "handling?" Or did they lower it?

Here is the Lincoln Motorsports A-Pillar in my 20th.

The Lincoln fits nicer, but those gauges are too high up on the pillar for me.

What's with the red console pieces by the shifter? And the consolette looking tan piece? Looks interesting, I must know more!

And by 06/01, I meant 06/01/07 :hick:

The gauges are actually nice & close & easy to read up there! :D

Yeah, I cut down a full console to make a mini-console for the shifter & boot etc... I realized when I looked at the pic that the red just doesn't cut it - even though the car is red. I had one that was black & didn't quite look right as the top part is greyish. I would have kept it, but the seat malfunctioned and crushed the old mini-console - doh! I cut the console one plastic thickness behind the mounting tabs for the screws that hold the shifter boot bezel on. I cut a little plate and capped the end of the mini-console. It looks great - the end is mostly blocked by the mini-console.

And yes, that is the original consolete behind the mini-console - still attached to the seat :D

Oh, and the armrest uses the foam from the rear pimp-stick from a junk 20th I had. Because of the location of the shifter, I needed an arm-rest that was about an inch shorter - luckily the rear pad & leather fit pretty nicely!!

Oh, and the lighted LED switch on the bottom opening in the dash center is for the line-lock, there is one beside the antenna switch for the E-Locker rear. The LED bezels on the A-Pillar are superbright LED's triggered by an RPM switch (shift light) and one of the LED's in the bottom of the dash center is for the Water Injection & there is also a 4 position switch for the TwEECer hidden behind the cup-holder (to the right of the shifter handle.)

Oh, and hanging out of the glovvy is the cable for the LM-1. Velcro'd to the back of the glove box is the DataQ box.

Dude that's awesome! I can get you some Ford dye to match though ...hint-hint...

Yeah? I used an OTS SEM plastic paint for the A-Pillar, and that would probably be OK. I did have a custom blend made for the gold hubcaps - the guys thought I was Monk or something - I took over an hour to decide which gold looked closest to the OEM.

Can you get an exact match in something that will work well on the plastic?

I've gotten pretty close on all the other colors. My Shadow Blue and Charcoal are right on. I'm still perfecting the "red" Scarlet Red, though I have the "Maroon" Scarlet Red down pat.
