Default Flat Electronic oil temp gauge

Goal-Get Oil temp gauge installed without hacking the dash

So the cruise button can be removed and I can connect for the cruise to be be on 100%.
I am looking for a flat electronic gauge so I can simply run the wires through and attach via velcro to the dash.
Ideally would like to keep the dash intact.

I have used my weak google fu and looked at all of the racing equipment sites I could find and nada.

Has anyone seen something like this? I know the AFR electronics are flat with no real depth (so no cutting needed), so that is the example.

Thoughts?

PLX perhaps?

Their gauges are pretty thin... downside, their customer service is absolutely atrocious, so if you ever have an issue with any of their products you'll be wanting to kick a baby.

But, they work pretty well and look good.

I run PLX gauges, I have an A-pillar dual pod that I've fit over the factory one. The gauge is very shallow (thin), but requires a box for the sensor - I ziptied my box under the dash.

I run a PLX multi gauge in the visor. It's shallow enough to not protrude out the back of the visor (virtually invisible when up).

Thanks. Will look at the PLX. I am good with putting the box under the dash and just having the gauge fit where the cruise button is located.

All the suggestions are appreciated.

Love the visor mount, very sweet.

The PLX control box can also fit in the stereo area...

I put mine in the fuse box kick panel area, as I had one fail and had to pull it.


That visor mount is very nice! good job on that!

A brand by the name of KOSO makes slim temp gauges that could be attached with velcro.
