Inclinometer - window mounted

[DNAhilux]

So, I found an inclinometer locally (not an easy task) but turned out to be from a tercel but figured i'd buy it since it was cheap. Thinking i'd keep on looking for the altimeter one, I decided to go to town on this for something different. I dont like the DIN setup since I have the factory double din deck and when you need to know the angle, the last thing you are doing is looking down! So I gutted it a bit and found a mini led flashlight which i dremmelled and extended one of the led connectionswith some good ol' fashion solder and wire to point the other direction to disperse the light. I lined up the flashlight button with the already present light bulb hole. I fibreglassed the exterior of the gauge unit to make it more aesthetic and mounted a cell phone windshield mount..I painted it brown, but may paint the next one black when i do one with the altimeter...whew,,,onto pics.

My wife, being the good women that she is, got me a stocking stuffer last christmas. A set a inclinometers. I looked at them and immediatly saw a problem. They were bubble type and had an RV on the front. I laughed and said hunny this is great, but 15 deg max, is on my way to work, on a paved road.
