After the long wait for production on the gauge pod, its finally here and with an affordable price! I got mine today and just mounted the gauges on the pillar just to see how it would look. The gauges will be installed this weekend!

looks great, how well does the pod look next to an oem pillar?

 

i didn't really try fitting it on there yet but i think the color matches pretty well to the stock interior, probably off by just a littl,e its like 95% close to the stock. i kinda expected it to be a little bit better, its a little too flimsy, but i mean its going over the stock its not like a direct replacement or anything but big ups to rexpeed. they did a good job!

 

Pics of it on the actual pillar! Looks good thus far

 

Looks pretty good....

 

Looks good man.

Let us know how the install goes and how it lines up. I really wish they had a triple, i woud be all over it.

 

thanks for the feedback you guys! yes I'll hopefully install this weekend. if not at least put it up in the car to see how it would look like with gauges on it.

 

maybe its just the lighting but pillar looks "shiny"

 

its the lighting, its not really that shiny but the material is kinda rough i wish it was smoothed out so it would look like the car came with it stock.

 

Rougher > smooth when compared to stock. Of course we would like it spot on, but I believe its almost identical in color and finish.

 

new pics uploaded on first post.

 

Is the Rexpeed version plastic or fiberglass?

 

Grrrr!! Are you saying this thing is fragile? I went with this thing because Rexpeed said it was durable ABS plastic.

This thing better be worth the money!!!

 

Dang, didn't know it went "over" the stock piece.

 

cpunlamd: it is abs plastic, its just a lot thinner than i'm used to because my old gauge pod was hella thick.

slo4g63: yeah its not a direct replacement unfortunately.
