Just finished custom gauge pod

What you all think? I think it turned out awesome. I am considering making more if there is interest.

That's awesome. One with 2 pods would be cool for just an AFR and Boost.

I could fit one where the clock is, but two just does not look like it will fit.

Damn....I would be all over that!
Looks awesome!
I could get rid of my 3 guage A pillar pod then!

Any chance you could angle the gauges towards the driver?

Dnyzzle: this took a while but if I worked at it, maybe 3 days.

Michael: I did angle it a little bit, and if I make another it will be angled more.

Winston: I used the stock dash piece, this has perfect figment.

Arestg: yes it does remove the vents. I put a plastic cap inside the vents to keep them shut. I never use my center vent anyway, so I was ok with it.

Damn that is sick. I love it..

Some details though.

Is it a true carbon piece? Vinyl overlay? How about a 1x1 weave?

What would you want for you time on a piece like that??

More photos please (better lighting)

Jolly: this is the stock piece with fiberglass/body filler. Has perfect figment. I used diNoc carbon fiber vinyl, need to work with it more. Not sure on price yet.

I'll post more pictures later.
