Carbon Fiber & Aeroforce scan guage for the LT1...Pics
Well, I finally decided where I wanted to put the Aeroforce gauge in the WS6. I was looking for a way to make the guage look like a factory deal. Actually took quite a bit of time to custom make all the little pieces to fit this guage in the drivers side A/C vent.

I then proceeded to figure out my dimension and cut-out the carbon trim ring using a scroll saw at low speed. This peace actually sits down inside of the A/C vent hole and hold the guage from the front:

Cut-out a matching piece for the rear of the A/C vent made from 3/4 MDF:

Then made a backing plate for the guage out of 1/8" flat aluminum and then polished the item:

Pic of the Aeroforce scan guage. It looks at 27 different items on a LT1 through the OBD II port. I purchased one of the last special edition PONTIAC Aeroforce guages. When you initially start the car after 5 seconds or so the PONTIAC logo shows up on the screen and then the guage starts.

The final pic of the finished product. I can't believe how well this item looked as a finished product. If anyone has any questions on doing any of this please PM me for details. This was a pretty tedious process to get it to look factory, but well worth it in the end.![Flame Thrower](https://www.gtcarz.com/images/smilies/flamethrowingsmiley.gif)
