    i dont think that setup is practical... u need to divert your view significantly from the road to look at some of them

    From the guy's original post on IWSTi, it seems like he didnt really care. He just wanted to have every Defi in his car :naughty:

    As well as blocking all air flow from the vents, if it's your daily driver. I like some comfort. ;)

    yeah, but look at the pic again.

    There's no HVAC controls anyways so he prolly ripped out the whole thing to save weight while he was at it.

    I like how clean it is, and how it matches. Especially because these are slightly non-standard sized guages from what i seen(most use bigger or smaller than this) I wouldn't mind doing this if I lived up north, i never use those vents for heat anyways...

    Unless you track race as much as you daily drive, i will never understand getting rid of the stock steering wheel with the nice life-saving airbag tucked inside...
    But what REALLY threw me on this one was, check out the headrest in the rear view mirror. What kind of seat does this guy have???

    geeze the only thing missing is the autometer-style cluster guages and the center column...can you even see that one on the lower left when driving??
