i have been in 2 minds for a while about getting rid of my bug. now i have decided to keep it and i am going to make some improvements.

thought i would start with Dials.i have always liked the look of A-Pillar set-ups but have seen Dash mounted sets too.

prices vary hugely and i dont know what the most useful ones to have are.

so....

I suppose it depends on what kind of look you want but i would have started with the standard WRX clocks and swapped those for STi clocks. Straight swap, no messing about and looks good.

ETA: I think clocks that are mounted in the center of the dash on top where the digital clock binnacle is look really good set back in their own little scoop.

I've got VDO gauges mounted in a centre pod in my Forester.





And a few more via the Android 'Torque' application. wink

Gotta love an HTC with Torque or similar. I've got a Flyer 3G and that looks good too with the gauges up. HTC or a carPC are the way to go. Not keen on Ipads or iphnones. Very nice thumbup

liking the look of the prosport gauges!

i would probably go with an A-pillar set-up.

is it a DIY job to fit them?

Not the best picture, but I replaced the air vents (earl dash model) with boost, oil pressure and oil temp gauges.

Neat and tidy:
