How hard is it to route wires through the vents? I've never been up there.

just emaile block8head about these,,, it looks if he tilted the angle just a few degrees more in the direction of the driver they would be perfect, in the pics of the 8 it looks a lil close too close to the A pillar

I emailed him because I need a oil pressure gauge. After emailing him though I can't quit thinking about how easy it would be to make this out of a standard autometer pod and your factory defrost vent..... I don't know though I am going to look into it more tomorrow.

OHHHH I want. Nitrous guage FTW. It will take some work to run the wires, etc. Please post pics when you get it.
