Installed- Prosport Evo in RB Gauge Pod

Water Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure gauges installed. I haven't seen pictures of this setup on here before so I thought I'd share. I'm very pleased with how everything turned out- they look great at night.

Looks real nice. Any little drawbacks to adding them (aside from losing ashtray/cigarette lighter)? I've been thinking of doing that for 5 years now! Afraid I'll miss having that power outlet - or that the conversion will bring unforeseen issues (squeaks, rattles, added cabin noise, etc.)

But that looks great!

Really mad I didn't get these gauges, I was under the impression that they only came in celsius.

I have those gauges, but I'll be mounting on the dash. Had them for a year, and still haven't had the chance to get them hooked up...
Looks great though!

Yeah, stepper motor gauges are very annoying to listen too and these are cheaper than what I paid. Go figure!

I can't really think of any drawbacks at the moment. There's a 12v power outlet in the center console box so I wasn't too worried about losing the cigarette lighter. There's no squeaks or rattles right now, but if there was it wouldn't be hard to diagnose and fix.

It's a pretty simple install and everything is completely reversible if you want to go back to the way it was.

I tried the blue when I first installed them but prefer the red for both day and night. It matches the interior great.
