i agree, it's nice but it looks a little wierd, i would buy it, but if you think about the location, its hard to see when your driving

 

The only reason I haven't mounted my gauges yet is because I haven't found the pod i like. If you put this up for sale I will DEFINATELY get one!!!! Let me know PLEASE!

 

I take one in 60 MM

 

I'd be interested if I can get one in 52mm and the price was right.

 

I like this design too, but I'm not sure I would want it that color. I think if it was done to look like the factory dark grey it would look much better and not stand out so much like 2 *****. Also, this is not a good place for a boost gauge, but any other type of gauge would work great here. I have my boost gauge mounted on my stearing column and its perfect.

 

very nice!

 

That looks really good. I like my setup now, but I'd definitely consider that.

that's hilarious!!!!!!!!!

 

more pictures would be nice....

 

maybe a design with 3 gauges instead of 2.

 

Who actually looks at their boost gauge WHILE driving anyways?

 

more like ***** with gauges on them....haha

 

I guess one could see that if they had that in mind. Honestly, it has more angle to it than it appears in the pic. The paint I used has too much gloss, so it really highlights the curves on the pod in pictures. I will see if I can find other pics that better shows the real shape. I do not intend to make the final pieces that glossy, nor do I plan to use that exact color.

It is hard to explain, but the round shape of the pod where the gauges sit actually continues to the back of the panel. They are two distinct tunnels that run the depth of the panel then mold in at the back. In person, it is much easier to see this, and that keeps the design from looking like a set of *****. I tried making one where the two tunnels were leveled out in the middle, but it didn't look right.

If you have ever seen a lot of custom fiberglass work for car stereos (which most people have), you will know that most panels are made to be flowing and smooth. It is just the style that most people want when they want to show off. In some cases that is really cool, but it can also be overkill in certain cars. I tried to make my design a happy marriage of the cold plastic of the Evo/Lancer dash and the flashier smooth look that tells you the part is custom. I think the dash lacks a little bit of pizzazz from the factory, so hopefully most will find that this pod compliments and enhances it.

The design isn't completely finalized, since I haven't finished my new molds. I will take your suggestions into consideration.

 

They're fine.....START PRODUCTION!!!!!!

 

Ditto that! Forget about "*****" thing --- that's just silliness. The point is that the panel is convenient, affordable, functional, and available --- it'll sell itself!

BTW, it looks like it'll house even the deep Omori gauges, am I correct?

 

This panel should be able to hold any gauge up to 6 inches deep. That is exactly why it is molded with the "*****/humps" all the way to the back of the panel. There should never be any fitment issues with depth concerns.
