sundowner

i won a ashtray that has been turned into a  holder off ebay, someone has spent some time fitting a universal gauge holder in an old ashtray. maybe you could see if a plastics place could do this or you, 

im happy $61 win




That's a great idea!
 
These days who smokes anyway?


Cheers

Well honestly I haven't try it by my own but i think its not hard as we think. We just need to remove the part from dash which have installed the audio player and then put the gauges in them but I don't know how. But its not impossible to do at home.
