I spy my new gauge... can you?
I've had the wideband sitting around for awhile now and decided to get it in. I didn't do the cleanest install in terms of the metal I cut and the way I mounted the cup, but it's in and functional. Enjoy and sorry for only one semi good picture...

It's not the best picture, but you can still see out of the rear view mirror and you can see the gauge out of the corner of your eye. Plus it's an AEM Air/Fuel Wideband and thought while it's important, it's not important unless tuning if that makes any sense what so ever. Oh and I wanted something out of the way and stockish looking, haha. Basically, I was just going for a different mounting location.

looks cool but install is too crude. you need a custom made pod up there.
there was a guy over on swedespeed.com who had a gauge pod madeup for a VERY modded Volvo S60R and it was mounted up there with dual defi gauges...looked SICK! but the R has a large plastic panel up there and he molded a custom dual gauge pod - and it looked as clean as an OEM setup...but the location was very trick.
i say go to a stereo shop that does high end custom fabricatiosn and get a custom pod made that matches the plastic. throw it up there....maybe add a second gauge....duals... would look very nice. yours looks like you just bolted up a black gauge to the roof... not clean at all. sorry.
great idea with less than perfect execution. do a custom pod for a clean look and it will be VERY nice and VERY unique.
good luck. just my $.02. no flame meant.
