This post was edited.. No names will be mentioned, (humm...just look below).. I just wanted to clear up that I will try as hard as possible to make sure it doesn't look like a flea collar.. Suggestions for the final design are welcome and comments such as it looks like some type of <blank> are not. Unless its hilarious and you can't live without posting it.. Thanks and enjoy..
I had a chance to do some more work on my temporary boost gauge on Friday night.. Hope you guys like it.. No, its not done yet, and no it will not look like a flea collar when done.. Thanks for pointing that out Marcus.. I still have some <b>MAJOR</b> cutting to do along with some more wet sanding (depending on how I want to finish it).. To give you a better idea of what it will look like, this housing will be long enough to house the boost gauge, not any longer then that.. I didn't cut it yet because I still have to figure out how much room I want to leave around the gauge face... Im thinking either leather wrapped, carbon fiber wrapped or painted to match the interior.. Or maybe try and make some rubber to match the dash... Opinions always welcome.. Good or bad..

The final product won't look like this.. Im cutting about half of that "flea collar" off, enough so that only the gauge is covered.. The reason it is 3 times as large as the gauge is because the mold that I used (a glass cup) is that large and when making a mold of something you let the fiberglass hang off the mold to make releasing easier... I was looking for some suggestions as to what I should wrap in it, not what it looks like wise guy.. Just for that.. Im not letting you in on my spoiler idea... :^
