Here is mine, got the idea from user "Technoduck". Bought an extra cluster surround, dremeled out the vents ont he right side and made a piece from ABS plastic i found here at the shop. Looks great, took a bit of fab'ing to get to mount right, but looks great! Nice thing was that there is a power supply right behind the vents that illuminate a spot behind the cluster surround so I did not have to run a bunch of wire to recieve power to the boost gauge lighting. I still have all my templates if you decide that you like it. Only complaint about it is that there is a little sunlight glare when the sunroof is cracked, but nothing too bad.

Here is the link for some more info.

I chose VDO for my boost gauge because it looked factory:

No thanks. I bought this one with additions in mind. That will be the spot for my soon to be installed WBO2 guage.

Uses the standard autometer cup mounting kit, and then you just need a longer screw and it uses that original hole used to hold the trim to the pillar. No drilling needed and puts it in a perfect spot.

I'm sure you can cut out the space yourself. 2 1/16 inch is the standard guage size, just measure carefully.
