So you think real racers look down and stare at it during competition? FWIW, that's a Porsche GT3 that it's installed in for the pic above ....
let's just approx. $250 - $350 for the Derwankel pod plus $500 - $650 for three decent gauges and all you end up with are three gauges. The capability of the AIM display greatly exceeds this. The MXL Strada retails for $999 and all you have to do is tap several wires into the OBD2 plug wiring

Kind of nice that it comes with everything you need to make it simpler, but I sort of wish they had the panel available without the gauges. I liked this but had other gauges in mind that I felt matched the rx8 stock gauges much better.

I got to see it out at RB a couple of days ago. It's a nice piece. It looks really good in the car. I know some people want them higher up so just go buy something different. It isn't bad that low and if you absolutely must be able to see your gauges placed up high then without them with a stock setup everyone must be just sweating bullets. It looks good and ashtrays have no other use anyways.

I'd like 1 but I first wanna know about the outlet. I need a place for my cell and radar to plug into... I've never tried the plug for the air pump. Would that work as a power outlet also?

Saw this in person at SS9 and it looked really sharp! For someone whose non-turbo'd and just wants something cool in their car (that somewhat serves a small function) this isn't a bad option.

$450, I think that's a pretty good deal since it comes with everything including gauges. I'll be getting this during the upcoming winter.
