Digital Speedometer

[huskyfan23]

Well it looks like I'll probably be getting a digital speedometer (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=NRD-M9222), but I need suggestions on where to put this. I mostly want it just to see what my actual speed is. I also like the 1/4 mile and 0-60 features. Any ideas would be great, THANKS!

That'll look great! Please post some pics when you're done.
Oh yeah, where are you going to mount them? A pillar or console?
Keep us posted!

Well the only pods I've found are 2-1/16" and the digital speedometer is 3-5/8" or something around that. So right now I'm looking for ideas on where to put it, I'd rather use it then my analog speedometer so it needs to be in a fairly visible location.

If you're crafty, see about maybe mounting a new steering wheel and finding a way to wire/mount that speedo to the face of the wheel?

It doesn't look you've got 4wd, so there's a "vent" on the driver's side next to the steering wheel that's just begging for a function. Reroute the cruise controls to that area, and possibly a simple push-button for the horn? I don't know if the "horn button" would pass inspection or not, so I'd talk to someone about it first.

I might have to look into doing this to mine now...

That's pretty sweet. Looks like a nice mod. Put up some pics if you can.

Mine is 4wd. I don't have to go through emissions so the horn wouldn't matter, but I'm looking for maybe a way to put this somewhere closer to the dash.
