Perfect combo with the rim size and drop IMO. đź‘Ť

Well I'm sick of honda pictures, so here is a REAL car.

i think that spoiler on the green NSX is carbon kevlar, which (i think) is slightly stronger and lighter than carbon fibre. đź‘Ť

Oh, right- that makes it less hideously ugly.

And the fact that they sawed out a hole for it. Makes it look like an afterthought. It probably was.
For some reason I've never seen a highly tuned car that looks perfect.

It's mounted on an angle so that when you're at proper boost, the needle would be straight up and down.
It's an old tuner trick that let's you take a quick glance at the gauge without having to discern the reading.
Hope that explains the reasoning for doing it that way. đź‘Ť

All boost/vacuum gauges use different units..simply because boost and vacuum are measured with different units. The US typically uses inches of mercury (inHg) to measure vacuum, and PSI to measure positive pressure. In that case they use millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and kg-force per square cm. (kgf/cm^2)

Do you REALLY need your boost gauge to be that large?
Most highly tuned cars, at the end of the day, have *look pretty* quite a ways down the priority list I'm thinking.

Well if something goes wrong with the head/valve/turbo and you can't feel it then it will most likely show up on the gauge. For example if the engine burns a valve then the boost would drop off, and as stated earlier the gauge is rotated so that when the car is making the correct amount of boost the needle will be pointing strait up. So it would be very easy to spot if something is wrong. So in short, in a street car no you don't need it to be that large and in a race car it makes monitoring things easier.

But after you spend approximately 5 minutes driving it, you know exactly where the needle is gonna be when youre in boost. I know I can see exactly whether I'm boosting or not with a glance, even with my "tiny" 2 1/4 inch gauge. Even on a track. Even though it's mounted on the A-pillar. Upright.
And in a drift car, the amount of on/off throttle application there is means the needles gonna be pointing straight up for bugger all amounts of time anyways.
