It does look like a lot of work went into it. Was it made from a mold or built up and sanded to shape?
I'm kinda doing what quickshift said, using the stock one, building it up with epoxy, cutting shaping the holes, and repainting. Im in the first stage with epoxy putty drying right now. If it turns out looking anywhere close to as good as yours I'll try to post pictures.

my door is always open to you bro!!! if you want to come here, beer and pool are on me and i might take you up on your offer to help me wax my car i do agree with you on the 1off creations, however they do tend to get costly. if you need any help or advice with your new setup, feel free to ask.

that does look kick ***.. i bet if you put it down to 200 you'd get a **** ton of people begging for them.... honestly i think 300-250 is a bit pricey... the volume of people you'd have asking for it would make up for the price differance anyway..

i didn't plan to sell them but i also have no control over the price due to the labor and skill involved in making them. also, if people pay 300-400 on stuff like intake and strut bars or even taillights than i think that the price is ok for gauges that you can view easily and look sweet. i agree with you though, it is not for everybody and i wish i could get the price down to 150.

That's the best looking gauge pod mod I've even seen! Damn that's so nice and clean.

blonde,

I love the idea but there was something I didn't quite like in the proportions. It finally hit me that there was a little too much space on each side of the qauges that made the the gauge bezel look "empty". So, since I haven't had the bezel off to see what's behind it, do you think there would be room for 4 gauges?

I'll attach a photoshop to show what I mean.
