How to make a fiberglass gauge pod
If I can do it, a monkey can do it. I've never worked with fiberglass before. In fact, I've never really fabricated much of anything from scratch before. But this was easy. It just took a little time to get it all worked out.

Anyways, go here for the full write-up and tons of pics. Email/pm me if you have any questions.

Ya i wanted that center console when it was forsale on ebay. I think it went for like $400-$500 though thats just crazy. But i dont remember if it came with the apexi units too if so i guess that is a good deal. Anyway i cant wait to see it done i think that is the best way to store away the apexi controllers.

I'm pretty sure that console went for over $700. It did have the Apex'i units with it.

I'm looking to do this. The one that came with my car isnt the best. But I've been debating buying one from Lancer Shop or AMS.

How are you liking the fitment?
