I was looking at one of those gauge pods that go where the factory cd player is but they're $49 and it seems like you could make one pretty easy. Anyone try?

I have not but have been thinking about that and even a new plate to cover the speedo and tach.....out of sheet aluminum or stainless, but what you are talking about would be easy....cut a pattern, trace it on the material, cut it out ,install it. There are ways to cut all materials and for most tools....drill, dremel, grinder, etc...... it really would be easy. I think.

Yeah I paid up as well.Definitely looks better than A-pillar gauges IMO(I used to have A-pillars)

Did you get yours from Need for speed in Florida?

Sweet. I didn't know they made on that holds three...

Yeah people always say they like these better than my old ones.I just like how you can't see them from outside the car(unlees someones in a semi-truck)which helps my stealth mode.
