OMGHI2BUZZINGBOOSTGAUGE!

Got the boost gauge installed today. Of course I had to get the one that's buzzing. Oh well, it's a common thing with AWE gauges. Will get that fixed soon.

As previously mentioned I've decided to get the gauge tinted with 35% film because I've found it a bit too bright and distracting at night.

For comparison here are some T-Dot B6's pics (hope he doesn't mind):

Here are mine (tinted with 35%). Pics were taken today while it was really sunny:

You can see that the tint application is not perfect, but it's not really apparent from the driver's seat so it doesn't bother me. . Plus it only cost me $10. I figured I can always take it off.

I like how it turned out. I find that it matches Audi's gauges a bit better when the AWE gauge is tinted.

Night time pics will be posted later on today (I have to take them first ;-)
I'm hoping it will match the oem gauges well.

Have no idea. A shop did it. They'll fix it in the future.
