hey guys, has anyone bought gauge pods off of ebay? im looking to put like 2 or 3 on my a pillar and was wondering if they actually fight tight and match the car interior as well as the ads say.

 

Check this thread, it already has some chatter going.

i don't really know about the pod itself, but that thread that Stu posted has lots of info about the gauges.

Give me a month maybe, i'm gettin a Ebay triple pillar pod with a tach, volt and a/f. I'll post pics, so i'll let u knmow how it goes.

(if you're not sure how its done)

 

Get the cluster bezel one if you're going to rock two gauges. I love mine

 

i already have autometer gauges, i just needed to know if the pods were worth buying off ebay or not. i've also been looking around for a pod that goes around the factory gauges and has two gauges in the lower corner like what forty has in his video.

 

YOu can get the exact same thing as mine through Glowshift on Ebay for around $25 shipped. The fitment is great and it takes about three seconds to install it

 

yea ^ +1 for what Forty and you are saying, for two gauges the pod that Foryt has looks the best, but i think the for three the pillar is where it's at.

 

The twin honda pod from glowshift is like 20 bucks, and I heard they fit well, I wouldn't be afraid to try that, long as the holes were the same size as my gauges! Go for it and let us know :P

 

if i was youd id either buy a full pillar pod or customize them to your pillar trim....

ive thought about doing it if i ever get an air system....
actualy preaty easy with the right stuff....


you can use those cheap ebay kits and basicaly just trim em down to come in from the rear of the stock pillar panels and then mold them into the stock trim and then simply paint it to make it oem style or shiny paint if you wish...

just imagine what you can do with this stuff! just like bondo but has the flexability of plastic and holds beter than bondo or fiberglass...
my only issue with my molded dash panel was the paint.... didnt clean the unmolded area enough and it lifted.

 

i love how you moved the radio down in that. i was thinking about that as a plan B and making a panel for my gauges and my VAFC where my heater control is. well, you sir just inspired me, thats my new project for now.
