Pics of 60mm Lower gauge pod

I have searched and cannot find anyone who has used the 60mm lower gauge pod. I would like a reference before purchasing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know, all talk and no pics. Due to UPS issues I just recieved my DEFI boost gauge and link controller this afternoon. I will post pics this evening. Here are my comments.

Texture does not match OEM (not too big of a deal)
Color does not match OEM(definitely a different shade)
It fits reasonably well, but there are some small gaps along the sides(not too big of a deal)
Gauges fit very snug so this is a plus as you can only add the gauges to the pod after it has been screwed into place
Downside is because the gauges fit so tightly it will require work to remove the 2 outside gauges to gain access to the mounting screws if you every need to remove the gauge pod(pics will help to clarify)
I had to enlarge the screw holes quite a bit to allow it to sit naturally(no big deal)

If you are extremely **** or this is for show-n-shine then you would probably opt for the upper pod mount.

Apologies, I was out of town getting my new IC fabricated.

BTW, I will also report on the DEFI install. The directions supplied on this post are not correct for the IX.
https://www.evolutionm.net/features/...rojectevo/24/3

The orange wire for the illumination using the cigarrette lighter wire does not work properly. It only cuts on the illumination when the parking lights are switched on which means you cannot see the gauge during the day without turning on the parking lights. Also, this does not allow the dimmer function to work at all. If you hook it to the other wire it makes the DEFI dimmer work in reverse. Very wierd, but measuring volts at the LED on the cigarette lighter, if you make it brighter the volts decrease . This made the DEFI gauge work in reverse to the OEM gauges.

On the IX, when you turn on the car the gauge lights come on without the parking lights being switched on. I need to run the orange wire on the defi gauge to that power source.
