highest and best use for an ATI gauge pod: spare parts.

i made this last week out of my stock steering column cover and the gauge holders from an ATI gauge pod i found online. the ATI gauge holders are just screwed on, so you can remove them easily and attach them to your better-fitting OEM steering column cover.

woah, that ish is ill!!! i bet it costs a small fortune with all the sensors.

** 100$ for teh gauge than 125$ each for the sensors. about the same price as running 4 separate gauges.

sweet!

they aren't cheap, but there are/were vendors online selling them in packages which significantly reduced the cost. plus if you get the module with OBDII interface you can monitor the OEM sensors (water temp, AIT, rpm, timing advance, etc).

Looks good bigc. Where did you put the sensor control box? I have four of them plus that huge one for the DM gauge and they are underneath the passenger carpet. I'm mounting/replacing my sunglass holder to hold one DM200 and an aquamist meht gauge, but i'm liking what you did. Did you get the DM100 or 200?

thanks man! my boxes are in the same place...stuffed under my passenger side carpet and along the transmission tunnel. i try to keep them as far as possible from the TPMS sensor and factory NAV antenna since they throw off a bit of EMI.

i went with the dm100 - 52mm gauges
