I've never been a huge fan of the Lotek pod but your install looks pretty good! Congrats on the gauges, I like how well they match the OEM gauge cluster.

you really hit 260.9 miles on your tank of gas? i like the ash tray setup. i have the racing beat pod with autometer full sweep gauges. they match the factory gauges white and red.

looks good man. I thought about doing something similar in the ashtray. PUR NRG had a clean setup of that. Would have done it but the gauges I'm putting there won't need to be hidden.
