Looks great! Where did you find the bracket? I like the fact that it mounts on the underside of the hood. Any more pics?

Gotta love that white paint! I swear my next one will be white. Every time I roll to a function I just blend with all the other black ones.
 
I made the bracket myself out of a piece of 1" wide aluminum stock. It is sofe an maleable so I just messaged it to the bend I needed so that it fit the contour of the underside of the hood an did not touch my paint drilled 2 holes in one side for the gauge and one in the bottom side for the self tapping metal screw I used to screw int he bottom side of the hood. Of course you know the hood has a deeper part about 2" back for the front where you can put a screw an not worry about hitting the top of the hood where the paint is. I kinda was up int he air about the external gauge thing being that you know when you see them on cars your like man thats a race car but I think its kinda cool now an I like seeing the fuel PSI raise. Kinda piece of mind thing. I will post better pics later./ Sorry for the short novel!!

I am very conscious of not making mine look like a race car as well but that looks clean and I like it! Not to mention that is a crucial part of our cars. Low fuel pressure = BOOM!
