Just curious on what people think I should do next. RK Sport carbon fiber roof rack caps, or interior gauges? I can't decide.

I would get the cheapest I could find lol! I don't really need all the info they provide, but they do look sweet. I would just have to find a cool spot for them. Any suggestions for a spot for the gauges would be welcome.

Some guys put them in the air vents,which I don't like,but they do look nice.I just made a pillar pod for my boost gauge,turned out pretty good.If you are doing gauges,it will have to be custom.

Yeah, if I were to do gauges, I would probably attempt to create a 3-pod a-pillar. I enjoy my ac too much to block a vent with a gauge.

Its honestly not the info I'm after. I just love the look. I don't find it to be a waste if I find enjoyment out of it.

well based on what i have read in this thread you are not boosted and the gauges would be aesthetic... i'd say the roof caps and then get them painted to match the car.unless the car is black, i feel if you start adding carbon fiber parts it looks best color matched.what other mods have you done?

I could help you along on MAKING a 3 gauge A-pillar set up.... Ever done any fiberglassing?

had I kept my Vibe, I would have removed the racks and installed caps instead. I don't see the purpose for gauges on a N/A engine that you don't even care to read lol.
