custom gauge pod

[spcloud]

I just got a couple new gauges and decided to change the location of my gauges. It's still a work in progress. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Scott

i like that set up on a 1g better but looks like your doing a hell of a job fabricating it cheers mate!!

So far it looks good, looking forward to seeing the finalized product.

 

[CrackedDSM]

Definitely looking good. I love when people get creative like this with DSM's.

 

[dalesmitsu]

Great job.

I hope you're painting it an Oem color grey or black and not mix matching your interior with different colors.

Sorry but I had to ask

Looking good so far can't wait to see the final product.

Looks great to me man

 

[krishansheanh]

looks good man. could probably even fit one more gauge if you wanted to

 

[turbodude]

Yeah, looking good. I just got done fabricating my upper dash vent area with my apexi rsm and TT and was planning on doing something down in the center console area too. I'd like to see the finished project on this.

Thanks everyone for the feedback I'm glad you like it. I am going to paint it black or grey not sure which one yet. It would be nice to get it to match the OEM grey but I'm not sure how to match the texture. Yea it is really familiar to your work flowryder, I kinda got the idea from your work. I was going to do the same as you but I wanted a steeper angle and the radio was in the way. I had a spare center console laying around, so I cut into it .

Thanks again,
Scott

It looks great so far man!
I've been wanting to get a couple more gauges for mine and i like that location, but am also not sure how to match the OEM texture. Let us know how the final product looks after painting!

 

[99eclipse420]

Im stealing this idea, I was gonna get the gauge pillars but the ones in the car now are wrapped in fabric and it would be a hell of a time wrapping the gauge pillars. With this I get to have the 5 gauges with out having to wrap something in fabric. YAY.

Update!! I finally got it sanded a little and first coat of primer.

looks good

 

[BoostedBraydon]

nice dude

Coming together no doubt loving the look.

Looks really good. I thought about making something similar but instead of the piece being solid it would lock in like an aftermarket radio, under the radio. Keep posting pics! Also did you use some pvc for the holes?

 

[glowryder]

Gl jim bob. I experimented with that.. there just inst enuf room. Unless u wanna hack the pocket to bits.. then it defeata your pourpose. Thus why i created my style of pod.. that snaps in exacly like oem.. b.c it is an oem part ; )

Imo mine and the op's are really the only way ## getting pods inder the radio. The plug and play pocket would be nice. But its not possibe.. well.. it is but it requires more fab time, when you could either buy on or make it like the op's.

 

[skatershawn]

Like the ideal alot! Looks pretty good man!
Good Luck!

 

[Nasty Dream]

Yeah, I really like it. More sleeper to other cars on the road, and.... custom. Plus if you want to go all Knight Rider, you can put more gauges in all the spare places you left free.

I just don't know about the location visually. I know I see it when I'm at a light or something.

What type of gauges are you going to put in the pods?

 

[Yamaharyder600]

I have to agree with nasty dream about visibility. Looks really good and clean. What gauges are you using?

 

[Nasty Dream]

I would put less monitored gauges there. But I was asking because I'm not sure what those would be unless I had all the options before me.

I just don't know about the location visually. I know I see it when I'm at a light or something.

What type of gauges are you going to put in the pods?

I agree, I have my WBo2 in the cig lighter location, and I HATE it there. I will be moveing it as soon as I get new guages on the way. I would put oil pressure and cooland temp there personally, not something that I look at all the time like boost/WB

Looks good though!
