Default Would anyone be interested in a new gauge mounting solution

Im am working on a mounting solution for any extra gauges we may need in our z's (wideband, boost, etc). Here is what I have so far.



I have access to a CNC machine so I can make these in an instant. As you may notice in the picture the panel is a little short, but that was my fault on measurements lol. If I had enough interest I was thinking about selling them for $25. I could do a single gauge set up as shown, or I could do double. I can powder coat it in any color, and Im working on one where I could have the 350z logo lit up on the panel, but that is a work in progress. Mounting brackets and mounting instructions will be included. I could also have "350z" silk screened on the powder coated ones, anything is possible. If anyone is interested you can post, or pm me. Here are some more pictures:







Thanks,
Shawn

More pictures and updates will be later this week!

This is exactly what I need lol. I just have my AFR hanging in that spot right now. I don't need powdercoating or anything. If you have one available, let me know. I will send payment now lol.

Couldn't you just do these in 1/8th ABS plastic?

Awesome! Well Im still in the mock up phase, and working on instructions so it could be a couple weeks. On Thursday this week I am going to make some more (only difference being with holes for mounting brackets) so I'll keep in touch and let you know how everything is going.

Yes you can, and I can get it cut out of that too, I have a machine that cuts metal, and another that cuts plastic.

Once I get the mounting solution all squared away, I will start a list of people who would like one of these.
