Got the ultragauge mounted clean. Used a couple of forums on here for help running the wire, specifically, taking apart panels without breaking clips or blowing up my side airbags. Pretty simple install. Used some gopro mounts and some double-sided 3M.


Driver view, no issues. Full mirror range of motion



Driver side detail mount, GoPro mounts and 3M
