Hey guys, i've been wondering for a while if anyone knows where to go to get some a frame moulds so i can wack some dials in (battery and fuel/air) on the a frame in my car (drivers side obviously)
eg: http://members.westnet.com.au/woobie/build/956.jpg (pic from woob's epic VRX install thread)


now im not too good with my hands with builds, is there a good shop you guys know of? im sure the mitsu shop wouldnt sell em...?

the only way you can get done is if youve got a reflective cup example chrome coz the light reflects of it. ive got gauges on my a pillar with a black cup and have had a cop search my car and i canaryd for window tint and i had to fix my window reg and put the door trim on but nothing was said about gauges.

pretty lucky, the chrome thing applies not only to that but on your bonnet too. The reason (so i have been told) is that it provides a place of non conforming impact to the driver, and can also impair vision AND has lights there, not sure how true any of them are, wont stop me when i get around to doing it lol
