I have been looking for something like that as I love how they look in the STI. Im not a fan of the pillar guage pods as anyone net to you can see those and they make your car look like your flying a plane.

Any chance you guys will make a dual guage - guage cluster one like this:

The Evo gauge cluster sticks out too much compared to the one in the picture. I personally think it wont look right on the Evo.

The 52mm pod will be the same size as the 60mm version...only the holes for the opening will be cut in 52mm size. No drilling required and will come with 3M tape to mount on the dash... price will be released soon..

The pods surface will have texture on it so it will blend in better with the factory dash...not just those other plain smooth pods you see out there that dont look right. With the correct 3M tape there will be no gaps when mounted...check out the bottom side to see what im talking about

You should be able to move the pod around a few cm's or angles according to how you like to view it. The one in the picture was just tossed on top with no tape...as you can see it sits pretty dam good already. With 3M tape it will look perfect

BTW thanks for the feedback!

Right now we are unsure how the wiring will be routed...it would really depend on the individual where they like the wires to go so we might just leave it as is with not holes and just have the customer drill holes in the back or how ever they like it. I personally think thats the best option as some customers dont like holes being visible or drilled if they have no use for it

Feedback: Il'd buy one.

Thatis a good lookiing piece man. My only concern is the routing of the wiring (most likely needing drilling to work) and the duration of the 3M tape staying stuck to that hot @ss dash. Something tells me not to bump it when it is hot or you might have a different positioning for that cluster.

Really? I dont think so .... even if the pods had to stick out a little from the cluster I think they would be a better option then a pillar mounts. I know I would buy one in a heart beat

I hate to burst your bubble but you can buy those off ebay for $5 shipped.

Sorry, I only say cuz I bought one and molded it to my dash months ago.

Nice part none the less

Goodluck :~)
