Gauge Pod Help

Hey gents,

I hope you guys can give me a hand here and also let me know what you think about this.

I hope i can explain this.

I want to fit 3 gauges on my evo IX wanted something like Colt Speed gauge pod but it's very expensive.
So i wanted to know which part do i need for my idea.

My evo interior is like this i will attach photo.
I will remove the stock radio so i can fit Pioneer Flip In-Dash Head Unit wanted to know what i need so i can fit this radio.

And here's the million dollar question wanted to ask you guys i want to fit this gauge pod above the radio i will attach the link, can i just buy this part and will it be a direct fit or do i need something else from Mitsubishi?

Thank You

Is the new head unit single din? If so it looks like you could probably make it work, there might be some messing around but it looks very clean!

If your radio is single din then it should work.

You would need a double din to single din kit from wal-mart for like $24 which will make the area under your head unit into a pocket, or cubby if you will. From there I would use that plate that you linked to in your OP and place it in front. You can run the wires through the back of the cubby and that plate should make it look all nice. Should be a piece of cake
