What does it look like from outside the car though the windshield? Can you see back of the gauge, or is it covered?

If you aren't planning to sell these, then we need one of the forum vendors to hop on this.

The gauge is fully enclosed. It tapers towards the windshield.

They are available to purchase PM me for details

Thanks!

That's why I built it. I didn't like the other options and I didn't want this gauge with two different style/brand gauges at the triple gauge location.

Great work. So I'm thinking the bezel came with the guage right? Also, what did you use to texture match?

The bezel that came with the gauge I dyed satin black. You can barely see it, but I don't skimp on the little details. The silver bezel I ordered from Nissan to match the silver bezel on the triple gauges.

Got it. So the texture match is trade secret? Like I said earlier, great work. Detailed work takes time. Guys at the dealership go nuts when they see something like this.

No trade secret. I thought I mentioned it before. SEM texture spray.

Offtopic but would you be able to make a cover plate for the factory navi dash kit? Since the factory cones with a keypad so the factory dash kit will have a hole at the bottom.

If you can make those, people can have them wrap in cf or leather for the factory look
