They pop up used a lot. Even marshall's autometer single din pod was a good option but it isn't as ballar as the ABS molded one gruppes makes - sorry marshall.

I even like the rexspeed pod on top of the dash.

No worries Turcoface. As Tim said, it works, is cheap, and isn't ugly! I agree the gruppe-s is baller!

So today is the last day with the Evo

Emptying it out tonight, and driving it to its new owner tomorrow...

All mods are going with it, as he wanted them all (including all gauges and the Tactrix cable). Seems like a good guy, and we will see him & the car up at Davens with his g/f who drives (and Auto-X's) an STi

as far as the gauges go for the x I kinda like this setup... If they could come up with a gauge pod to attach to the steering wheel a bit cleaner i would be completely sold.

as far as the TPMS thing... its just a flashing light that goes off on the dash. I think it's gonna be too annoying for me to deal with so I am gonna get new sensors when I get my new wheels. Maybe I could learn to live with the sensors out of my stock winter wheels and just run the old ones on the new wheels.
