What might work well for that Scott is a header panel from a '94/'95 124 with the built-in phone display/controls overhead instead of the center visor W124 Headliner Replacement Photos (2nd photo in #7).

What about using a bluetooth dongle for OBDII so that you can use a canned Droid app like Torque?

I did not know I had a mini-visor by the mirror until I saw your pictures.

I went out to my car and there it was.

Who knows what other surprises the car has left!

It's a 2 inch dia gauge. The innards fit just fine. You just need to drill holes for the mounting screws and the tube input shaft.

Those are sharp. If you don't tweak with the wastegate do you need anything over 0-15?

OMG that looks GREAT! Hope you took pictures and can post a walk though of how you did that cause I want that in my CD....

I tried a variation using the blank spot in the top switch panel as I had an extra laying around. My gauge ended up being a little to big to actually allow me to put the piece back in. so, I have it mounted under my dash right now as a temp solution, but this... this is wonderful. I hate the stupid clock anyways.

Found it here...

and here for 10 bucks cheaper...
