    Do any of you have any ideas for an actual frame or some sort of trim that would work here? I want to finish it off nice and make it look more stock.
    Rack, etc. look good !
    I don't know the material thickness of your cutout for the scan gauge, but you could try some black door edge moulding(cut 45 deg. miters in the corners)...get the cheapest you can find @ K or Wal mart.

    Thumbs up

    Thanx Bart... I was browsing around your VX page (very nice), minding my own biz as usual, when I saw your link to the weathertech rain guards. I've been meaning to get a set, just hadn't got around to it.

    Anyway, they're on their way.

    Yeah, I like where I have mine, but I still need to make it look a little more flush. I have been unable to find any suitable trim or edging to use. The good thing about where mine is, is that it is completely solid in there and the wires are all tucked under the dash.

    PS - How the heck do you set these to calculate gas mileage? We have a 22.5 gallon tank, iirc, and the scan gauge does not have a setting for 22.5??

    Hmmm - I like your scangauge mountings (actually Bart I love your whole vehicle!) but do you not find it hard to read them on the move? Still, better than my "sticky pads tot he top of the dash'" approach!

    I love your rain deflectors, but sadly Weathertech won't ship directly to the UK.

    If you are seriously interested, you could buy them through someone in the US, and then just have that person mail them to you. You will pay double shipping, but....Its easy enough.

    Let me know.
