These are probably stupid questions, but does this device actually come with any gauges (and connections, etc)? If so, what gauges does it come with?

Has anybody here ever put gauges in the two middle a/c vents? It's a common place for extra gauges in Miatae, and wondered if anybody here had done it.

i think the position is not the best, as it will be blocked depending on how high u set your steering wheel.

i think this is the best spot to do it, looks good and is easy on the eyes

Default gauge pod

hey guys, this pod actually is part of the steering wheel column so it moves with it and won't be blocked by adjusting it. The pods also tilt and rotate so it's 100%adjustable. you can lock it down once you decide how you like it to look. as for the wires, there's a slot to hide all the connections. it's pretty clean.

just my 2 cents. i got one recently and really like it. if you're looking for 2 gauges, it's a good one!

The pictures make the gauges look like they're molded into the dash. They're not.

I'm not too hot on the 15 gauges surrounding your domepiece, so I'll be passing.

Are there any A-pillar gauge holders that allow you to fit 60MM gauges? If you want Defis or Greddys... something that has P/H function and doesn't look crap, you pretty much have to run a 60MM gauge.
