Default Underhood Autometer Gauges

Since I replaced the stock hood with the high rise cowl there is a wealth of new found space for more gauges that wouldn't fit inside. Since I already installed the wiper cowl cover that gave me something to work with and fabricate everything else. Since the location of the gauges is closer to eye level I used the green bulb covers to tame down the brightness for night driving hoping it won't be very distracting but only time will tell.
