Why eliminate a/c vents? Or at least it must be nice to live in a climate where a/c is not a must. I grew up in the north east and out west in Co and remember driving around the parents cars with 4-60 a/c. Then moved down here to the south, I can not drive a car with out a/c.

My A/C has been gone for the last 6 years and I live in El Paso where almost the entire summer is over 100 degrees and I don't miss the A/C at all. I don't have 4-60 A/C but I do have 2-80 A/C .

I thought it was 2-100+ AC? I can't do without AC! Plus I'd rather have a 500hp car whoopin up on everyone that is full function! Roll up my windows after killing them and turn on the AC in enjoyment! I recently took a trip to Roswell just for the hell of it, and it was fine leaving Albuquerque, But when I got close to Roswell I was crying for AC!

I only removed my AC after moving out to an Island Thankfully it doesn't get to warm her in the summer (gets warm but not like sticky/dry warm).

I love my now discontinued MachV center vent pod, I wanted to order a new one as I broke a screw off in it so it's missing a clip and pops out sometimes then I saw they were discontinued

the Resin I used was supposedly high quality shit for Carbon Fiber, I mixed it exactly like what it says to do and it didn't dry! I added some hardener to the remains of what was already mixed and went over it with that. Finally hardened after a full day! CAn't wait to start sanding and adding bondo and then put the damn paint on it. I'm tired of waiting.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Look forward to see it.
Most of the fiberglass ones just look off to me. That's why I opted for the MachV one.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Well its dry now. My bondo however is in town and I have no need to go into town to get it yet. So I'm just gonna start sanding it down, to smooth it out a little first.

Not exactly a "Custom Vent Gauge Pod" though.

...yet we don't have a post that isn't mounted with janky tape, etc. I'd love one that fits properly and slightly angles the gauges like the 2g guys have.

I have one that isn't mounted by janky tape. It is mounted with sheetmetal screws and clips. I Simple took off the OE trim. Went to the hardware store. Bought a $.99 pack of the shortest sheet metal screws they had. Took my shit home, and countersunk the shit out of them.

I got the black screws so they dont stick out at all. New interior clips is a must.

Looks a little cheesy but for $15 you can't really go wrong

 

[Project2G]

Make your own. That way you can make it the way you want it to be.

I agree. Here's mine. Carbon.

^^^did you make that yourself? Is that real carbon or a wrap?

^^^did you make that yourself? Is that real carbon or a wrap?

The first one w/o the holes was a thin sheet of carbon I bought off ebay then used a dremel to shape it. The second I did the same thing but used a thicker piece of carbon and also used a dremel tool.

Very cool project man
