Any aftermarket or custom gauge add-ons available?

I'm feeling a little "uninformed" by the minimal gauge package in my 2002 C32. I can use the menu to find coolant temp, but nothing on oil temp or oil pressure, or battery voltage. Has anyone seen a gauge package that would fit in the littly cubby under the radio?

no - but give me dimensions and lets see what we can do!

also the thing i was thinking about is a set of vent gauges....like an Audi -

and I agree - more gauges - more information!!!

Thanks. I don't have measurements handy, although it seems like a large enough space to hold three gauges (oil pressure, oil temp, boost?).

A good picture is in the middle of the page linked below. Vent gauges are nice when you have no alternatives, but with this big, gaping hole in the dash, gauges would be a visual and functional improvement.

measure yours up - i'm sure we can make something!

[OrangeMarlin]

Should I measure the opening, or the entire panel (which looks like it could come out on its own?

Before I get too far down the road, could you give me: (1) a very rough, nonbinding estimate of what the gauge package would cost?
and
(2) examples of similar packages you've created?

The gauge lettering is yellow, with red at the limiters.

measure the opening and see what it will take - how much room is there for gauges...

then you would have to source gauges that you like...

i would just help you get it done - i have no idea on cost...

here is a picture set of a a pillar pod buck i was working on...

good luck

Got it. Thanks. I didn't see the picture you mentioned in your email.
