Where to find a TWO GAUGE 60mm pod?

I seriously can't find one. I searched Google...maybe I'm just stupid. I don't want a carbon fiber one - I just want black ABS plastic. Must be made for 60mm gauges, because I'm going to use Defi BF gauges, and I only want to use TWO. A big THANK YOU to whoever can help point me in the right direction!

So am I missing something blatantly obvious or does nobody know where I can find one?

yeah, it's for an evo. I'm currently selling my Intega and getting an Evo, and I'm trying to make sure I know where to get these parts from when I get the Evo since there is a show coming up, and I want all of this stuff installed before then!

Also, a 2 1/16" gauge is the same as a 52mm gauge, and the Defi's are all 60mm. If there isn't one I'll be forced to get another guage, which is $200 more than I want to spend since I was going to get the Defi Link Display later on anyway

Cool...but isn't the stock a-pillar BLACK on a RR car? I didn't even know they had a grey interior...maybe I am just not paying attention enough. Time to go check out the registry to figrure this stuff out. Thanks for your hard work though

EDIT: well, that appears to be it, thank you. I couldn't tell if the a-pillar was black or not because all of the pics in the registry of the defi gauges are all at night, and it's impossible to tell if the a-pillar is black or grey. I had to check it out at Mitsubishi for sure. I found this pic of a BBY Evo with that a-pillar...just didn't know if it was the same in an RR Evo



Thank you so much though - I really appreciate it!

Tyler

That car looks familiar!

I got my gauge pod from Lancershop for $62.95 + shipping (It's now $57.95). They used to sell both the black and grey pods in a dual gauge-60mm, but it looks like now you can only get the dual 60mm pods in grey.

I used anXacto knife to cut the tweeter grill off the stock a-pillar. You can easily cut the hole out for the tweeter in the new a-pillar with an Xacto knife or a Dremel. I also used model cement to glue the tweeter grill to the new one after I cut out the hole. Take your time and you can get it to fit just perfectly.
