This is nice, I love it. What grit did you use to sand it down? or did you drill then sand?

Anyone know if the Agency Power gauge pod blocks the lights and the AUX in the compartment? I am thinking about getting this pod

I was looking at that and it looks like it sits above it in the pics

This is tight looking. I really like it. About the only thing I don't like is the rather stiff price.

The price is a little high but it's the cleanest one to me.

Double sided tape right onto the gauge itself using a binder clip dremel'd into the shape of a V. Blocks nothing.

^^ironic, lol I just installed mine



I actually cleverly used the Perrin Pod cups. Instead of being attached to the center bridge piece, I attached them directly into the steering column cover. much cleaner imo, I love it

and people who complain that this blocks too much are crazy. imo steering column mount is the only one that makes logical sense to me. everything important is in the same place

*this pic is takin about where driving position is

got a few pm's on how this is different. sorry the orig was too dark to tell. I had to tighten them after my auto-x today, so I took some better pics while the cover was off

You can see how I took the gauge cups themselves and attached it to the vertical wall of the cover




anyone interested can pm for the few tips you'll need to get this to fit and stay properly. definitely prefer this over the original Perrin pod design - the center bridge piece cracks easily if you don't line up your holes perfectly - the plastic will always be under some stress; combined with heat, it will eventually crack. I found out this method once mine did on my Ralliart. Loved it so I bought just the gauge cups used off a member (the user had a broken center-piece too) and did it again

Here's what I found. Looks promising! It says "deactivated" -- wonder if someone still has it in stock or if a future revision is coming about?
