Center Stage. Zero Compromises.

  • Mounts in the factory center vent: Uses the center dashboard vent housing as the mount point — no A-pillar pods, no dash holes, no permanent modifications to your interior.
  • One 52mm opening: Compatible with AEM, Autometer, and any standard 52mm aftermarket gauge. Boost, wideband, oil pressure — whatever your build calls for.
  • No modifications needed: Replaces the factory vent fins only. Drop the bracket in and you're done.
  • Driver-angled design: Matched to the E46's OEM interior sight-line geometry — canted toward the driver to keep the gauge readout in your natural sightline and minimize glare.
  • ASA construction: Heat and UV resistant to 100°C, cold-weather stable, and dimensionally accurate across seasonal temperature cycles — won't warp, sag, or crack.
  • Rattle-free fit: Model-specific to the E46 center vent housing for a secure, snug fit with no play.
