Custom guages
Thanks for the praise on the guages. 
I started with a wood buck as a mock up then made a plaster female mold to form the final fiberglass form. All the guages are angled to the driver's eye. I don't find them difficult to look at; of course not when I'm in some critical driving situation! 
The nets are from Mercedes as Chuck stated. Direct from the dealer's parts bin. They come with little plastic retainers. The only mod is to drill small 1/4" holes in the door panel. BMW also offers something similiar, but the Mercedes color was closer to what I wanted.

Jumping on the band wagon. Top to bottom are boost, intake air temp and mixture. I really like the gauge pod! Though all black gauges would have been nice. Perhaps I will paint the bezels anywho...
