custom aftermarket gauge face

Custom Aftermarket Gauge Face

I did this on a 1991 CRX
these are cyberdyne volts and air/fuel ratio gauges


you will need,
a large piece of plexiglass( you will make mistakes)
a scoring tool
tape measure
sharpie marker
flat black paint
gauges
and drill and hole saw

this is plexi
in trying to cut the size i needed, i made ALOT of mistakes
i have two gauges so i only cut two holes, but i know there is room for three, here is the rough piece i got.
i removed the center console and used the space where a CD played would go
this is a rough fitting...
i used silicone to hold the piece in place,


i had to use something to take up the space in the middle( so i used a shocker, but you can use other stuff)

here i am test fitting the gauges, i wrapped them in electrical tape so they would fit the holes snuggly

and from the side, i think they fit well

and finally it is in the car

and lit up at night, i think job well done
