Bryan, do you ever get up this way? Would really like to see that in person. I just never could get comfortable with having gauges on my dash, or pillar. This might be something I would like to have.

I am in the south Houston area, so Katy is close enough that I could stop by or meetup sometime to show you. I do need to do some shopping soon :)

Seems like they may need to be angled down a little more? What I do like about this is--with the aeroforce gauges, the display panel is sensitive to heat. On a hot summer day, if those gauge faces are left in the sun, it will ruin them. This solves that problem, as they will always be in the shade.

Your right about the constant shade. I can see them perfect all day long. Plus, I got tired of the constant blocking of the left pillar and did not like the idea of blocking my center area with gagues. 99% of the time, the car has no issues, is tuned correct, etc and the gauges only add "flash" to the car. I wanted something easy to read when I needed it. This locaton gave me the ability to see my data when I needed it, but be out of normal sight when not needed. Hell, the other day, even forgot they were in the car until the shift light came on :) However, this might not be what some need or want, but it was perfect for me.

The angle for me is about 99% perfect. I normally keep my seat at full bottom. All I did was up my seat a slight bit and it was perfect.

These are custom and would be dependant on your height and sitting height. I am almost 6' 1", so they are perfect for my height. The lower you sit in the seat, the more of an angle they need. He would have to angle the pods for your height.

When I sent the mock-up to him, I took shots from eye level with my mockup in the car, with angles, distances, etc. along with dimensions of the interior of the car.
