    Angled or Flush?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I was looking at the AWE, VMR and ECS Vent mounted boost gauges and I'm split.

    I like the flush look of the VMR kit, but the angled ECS kit looks good too simply because it's angled to the driver.

    Do you guys have a preference? Which do you like better? Is there something else you wish some of these kits had or they had done different with them?

    I'd go w/ VMR...It's cheaper and looks great.

    I should I have stated that I am going with the VMR. I knew if I kept thinking about it, I'd have a tougher time deciding so I went with what I thought was the cleaner look.

    Should have it installed next week on Wednesday.

    AWE is the only one that makes plat, so that'd be my only choice. If I had black, I would go flat as I think ECS sticks out too far when you look from passenger view.

    cool, if we don't meet before then hopefully we will meet down there.

    I was thinking about going with the Pasadena caravan, don't know if it'll happen, would you be interested in "caravaning" down there.

    If you are local, you are more than welcome to come by, and we can put the vent and gauge into your car, so you can see it for yourself.

    I believe that the angle of our set up, is very flush with the dash, but still allowing enough angle to be easily viewed from most driving positions.

    Hey don,

    looking at the pics, it's very obvious how much MORE flush the VMR kit is compared to the AWE kit. that's the one thing that made it very easy to decide between the VMR and the AWE kit for me. I can't wait to get it installed on Wednesday! See you then!
