Nordskog and a couple other manufacturers make digital guages. Just take them apart and mount the digital portion behind some smoked lexan in your desired spots. You have to know what you are doing, but in the realm of interior modifications I think this would be fairly simple to do.

Sounds like a really good idea and would look trick but it would not be that practical of a location for gauges in my opinion. But if its just for looks cant see no harm in it.

Good point. It may be a nice area if you run quite a few amps putting strain on your electrical system...perhaps put a voltage and maybe some amp temp guages. Not vital to the performance of the car while you are driving, but nice to have if you do the stereo competition thing.

yeah, that's where I would put my temp (outdoor) and volt gauge if I had the *****.
