Glove box gauge pod
my friend asked me to see if i can fab something up for him, so im going to try my hand at it. ive seen it done befor, so i know its possible 
gunna try to make some sort of corner of the glove box gauge pod thing that when opened it will have the angle so the drive can read the read out on the gauge.
gunna go start cutting ruining things now.
pics of failure come at some point tmmr

Its a cool idea and will look cool too but who wants to turn their head to the glove box while racing?

the location would be better for data-logging type stuff, so you can review after the pass instead of looking toward the passenger footwell while racing...

Nice. I originally got a triple a pillar pod but that thing was horrible. The gauges sit right on your eyeball and you still can't see all 3 clearly and it seems like it cover the whole wind shield lol.

Nice touch. How many mounting points are there? As mentioned last night, I dig it a lot.

Definitely a cool idea with the glove box opening/gauge lighting up. I would think that you may get a decent glare on the gauge though with the glove box light shining so you may want to just pull that bulb.
