Sorry irf, but I do prefer Duane's set up but, as he say's, so aslong as your happy no-one else matters :lol:

They would look better closer together, but it's difficult to tell by just the pic - you need to be sitting in the drivers seat to get the true impression....put hand controls on it and I'll take for a spin ;) literally, probably :flame:

It looks better than it did Irf, neat idea.  But got to agree with Kez on this one,  those AFRs dont half flicker the read outs, would do my head in sitting so close to one, especially at night.

But boys and their toys.......

Where is the best place to fit one if you cannot fit it in the din slot and you dont want to fit it to the a-pillar? For me it has to look like it was always meant to be there and not just stuck there.
