I take it the screen isnt necessary to listen to the radio or a cd or the like? Otherwise it'd be a bit pointless sticking the gauges in. That and the aircon controls are covered.
Either way, it looks pretty good. I like the 3 gauges there. Did you make the pod facia or did you buy it from somewhere? All in all, I'd be proud to have that in my car.

Looks good, who made the gauge holder? I'm interested in a similar deal but for two gauges, with a couple of switches in between... ;)

It looks great I reckon - very professional finish and not hanging out of the dash like a lot of AU's with modded stereos are... !

Looks good. I was looking at a few screens yesterday with a mate and wondering what to do with the left over spot, wheather to go double din or single an duse a pocket or something. Good idea you have there and looks the goods to.
Only thing I would do different is use black faced gauges, to tie in better with the rest of the dash. What colour is your cluster facia??? If its white then I understand the white gauges.
