How so?!
Plus, the A-pillar LOOKS like the aftermarket tack-on that it is, even when painted to match. This looks more like a stock piece.

I love it but I would miss my clock too much.  I'll just stick to getting a A-pillar when I'm ready. Awesome job though guys, looks amazing.

Hold on a sec, I can't imagine the guages fitting well. All autometers have a > 2in metal lip on the guage face. It does not look like you have built in indents for these to clear properly.

i think anyone that buys these should have some pretty serious mods (demonSVT) or fun FI.
I dont see anyone that needs a/f or volts or anything in a car with exhaust and intake.

Why? You dont like to have accurate gauges or you dont care about knowing how your car is running? FI gauges are wideband, fuel pressure, boost, and EGT.
Ill give you a/f, but volts, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp (stock gauge is crap) are all good things to keep an eye on. Oil pressure for sure (can watch for loss of pressure, when the car is truely warm, etc.), and you dont have a volt meter. I like to know my alternator working, and how exactly its working. The list goes on.
If you dont like them, fine. But they definitely serve a purpose on any car.

There are some small notches in strategic places so they fit. If you grab some 2" PVC that total area is the size of an autometer gauge.
