autometer gauge pod
Well after doing a lot of searching around and looking at what options were available for the 09+ lancer. I got to thinking. Autometer must have plans to make something. So I sent off a friendly email to them inquiring if there were any future plans or something in development that we can look forward to in terms of a oem fit/finish gauge mounting solution for our lancers. And here is what the response was:
"Hi Trevor,
There are currently no plans to proceed with a gauge pod for the late model Lancers. Surprisingly, there hasn't been much interest; it doesn't seem that as many of these cars are being bought and modified as there were in the previous generations. Nothing is ever set in stone, and if tangible demand for a product exists, it's likely that Gauge Works would build it. Hope this helps, please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Joseph Mills
Auto Meter Products, Inc."
Just figured I'd let you guys know. Maybe we can generate enough emails for them to justify producing something. Becuase quite honestly I'm not too fond of whats available right now. What i'd like to see is a oem fit/finish steering column pod. single or dual I really don't care. Just something that doesn't involve 3m mounting tape or gauge cups would be nice.

Wrong! The pillar is tethered and will sing towards windshield if it did manage to come loose. so it will not put the drive in danger. It has been discussed many many times on the forums.

tommy - thats the style i'd like to see. but instead of CF make it plastic and match the oem peice. as well make it so its a replacement peice. not a addition you stick on with double sided tape.
