Another mod from deep in the Garage...
Took this idea from the pvc pod guy a little further. Using autometer 2-1/16" gauge pods, some 1/8" aluminum plate, the original center spkr frame and some customizing and this is what I came up with for a 4 gauge center spkr pod....
Time - 3 hrs
Cost - @ $100
Appearance - I like it !
I can email the whole series of photos to someone who can host them on their web page for others to research and copy if you wish .....

Wow, your dash looks white
I'd try to hide it too if my dash was that faded :P
way to try something new
most people just complain about what's available instead of trying to come up with a new idea

Back from the dead, haha.
I was thinking of doing something like this myself. The pods that mount on the center speaker are nice, but I want something different. When I was in Japan it seemed like they mounted their gauges more like this, independent of each other rather than in a pod. It also allows you to put them wherever you like rather than all grouped together. I don't know why, I just like this better. I never thought about using PVC and I was going to try to make the metal base plate less noticeable, but basically this is what I was going for. I wanted something different but it's good to know I'm not the only one that likes it too, haha. Any update on this? Got gauges in the pods now?

i dont like it i'm sorry. and i know "if you dont have something nice not say...". but you asked for opinions. i'd rather see a dash molded version, thats my style. though i do like little projects like these better than spending countless dollars for something that someone else made.
custom or nothing right

I see your dash is quite disassembled. Mine is not, but I want to replace my center speaker with a gauge pod setup.
Question: Do you have to get into the dash to remove the center speaker? Or is it possible to remove that center speaker from the top of the dash. I tried messing with it just to see if I could remove the speaker and didn't have any luck. I didn't want to force it and break anything since my interior is in mint condition. I'm hoping to get an answer from someone who has already removed their center speaker.

Yes it is done now and looks great - IN MY OPINION. It is a good way to mount gauges in that center spkr location using what you can buy from summit racing. Also the dash is NOT faded, just highlighted by camera flash.
I can send you some pics Speedjunkie if you want to see the finished product.

^Yeah that'd be cool man, thanks! I'll pm you my email address. I actually thought of another way I'm gonna go I think too. But if I don't go with that, I'll probably do like you did.
