2nd Generation gauge placement mod *pics* Updated !

hey
well i got some gauges for my car, and theres really no place to put them in a gen 2 camry, so i found another thread that jetspeed made, and he never really continued the project, so i took a few days and worked on it, i havent had the chance to put it in yet or anything cause of my car is gonna go to the body shop soon to be repaired, but here are some pics, ill post better ones and pic of it in the car when its finnally done.


so i went to the wreaking yard and grabbed another one, cost about $8


local hardware store, some plexi glass cost about $2


some measureing and planning, so that my deck would still beable to flip down


cut out and painted black, but for those who like all those neon lights, i guess you could stick some behind there, and yeah, but not my thing.



had to mod. alittle so that everything would fit


awaiting on my last gauge, its in the mail and on the way

i just attacted the plexiglass by using epoxy, great stuff, also all you really need for tools is a dremel well ill post more pics later, tell me what you think.

Looks really neat. Can't believe that fit SOO good. Are they 52mm??
Why does each one have a different ring surround?

haha like i said i cant get pics of it in the car for about a week, on acct of the car being in the shop. but the rings are diff cause the gauge is diff :P. the ones on the outside are autometer, while the one in the middle is sunpro. im gonna replace it later when i get the money and yes there 52mm? or 2 1/16.
