After seeing that alot of people are interested in these, I might be willing to mass produce these....

Let me explain moe about the pod:

The pod simply press fits into the original location. I can add a bracket to mount the pod to the single screw that sits behind the ash tray if needed, but the pod does not move at all.

I can prime the pods before sending them out, or I can leave them in the fiberglass/bondo stage....up to you guys. I will look into have them painted by my local guy for those that are interested.

Lets see just how many people are interested in these....so I know how much work I need to do....and what kind of price to put on these puppies..

i would be willing to pay 75 or so for one...i am sure that it takes alot of work to do something like that. not to mention all the personal time you would have to take to make them


put me down for 1

That is why there is a change holder under the dash on near the driver's door. I have seen this pod in person and it looks great. Kevin is a great installer with years of experience and he does A+ work. For anyone who wants to go this route I recommend buying one of these.

Looks great, good idea (thought about similar, but I can't fab up stuff, especially that nice.) I could defintely see myself using it for a gauge like an EGT, FP, or something.

Really , there aren't any great locations other than the pillar for quick glance gauges

This is as good as any lower dash location (may be better since it at least faces upwards)

Depending on the finish and price, I'm interested
