New gauges and CF dash pod installed in my NA FC

Yes, both gauges sit at zero when the car IS off, my stock oil pressure gauge sits well below the "0" mark so I know its also wrong. But looking today my pressure rises up to about 70-75 psi under full throttle near redline, and ive seen m yoil temp reach about 165'F during a long spirited highway venture on the way home from work, temps outisde being near to the low 90's.

But so far my only issue with either the pod or the gauges is the slight glare/mirror effect they have during the day, theres no direct light shining off them into my eyes, but they also act like small dome mirrors you find on regular mirrors sometimes. I think that issue may resolve itself with the addition of window tint when im ready for that.

And yes Rob, Ill be taking 'better' pictures of the night shots with a less shaky hand as im still not used to the camera.

I know with my camera I can't take night shots without some sort of stand. I usually just set my camera on something and push the button.

For real though, they look nice. How much was the piece and the gauges?
