Din gauges - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #51082 16 posts Started by Redline08
Im on a slight budget but i wanted to hook up the empty slot below my deck with some simple gauges.

I was just thinking to go with glowshift and get their DIN gauge holder, its angled though towards the driver like our dash allready is. I was wondering if the combination of two angles are gonna create too big of an angle?

Has anyone ever installed din gauges? (not defi ones i dont have $600 at all to drop) If so then could you post up some pics? and opinions are appreciated

Thanks!!
I think I know what you are talking about but I had some custom mounted:

heres a picture of my Defi gauges in the din compartmen. Custom fit them myself

I have the Defi Din unit, it looks great but isnt cheap by anyones standards frown.gif I have my other gauges in an A pillar pod which helps keep them tidy and factory looking(ish), maybe this would be an option?

Bah...everyone has the DEFI gauges..im like you redline, I'm trying to see what the cheap ones look like, lol. I wish someone would do a how-to for the CHEAP din gauges. If I win the lottery I might go for the DEFI's
yea lol, defi gauges dont even look expensive, but watever. I wouldnt mind an a-pillar if someone actually sold one! lol
Lotek makes one for our cars that is a direct fit for the A Pillar.
I'm doing an ebay (GLOWSHIFT) angled din pod install right now. i'll post a how-to/pics soon.

Defi doesnt look expensive - BUT atleast you can count on them - and know that they show the real deal... Not like 90% of the cheap as shiz gauges show the same thing as Sun clock in the night....

If you want some gauges - get real deal - if you want only accessories in your cockpit - to make it look better - get the cheapo shiz...
