$180 is actually a very good price. I paid $300 to import mine:

And if someone (reese) will hook me up with the fiberglass guys....

the $25 pod (which I also have installed) blocks your view, especially at night trying to turn left.

This one's a bit more exotic.

Fiberglass = copies for cheap

I like the Run Racing one better...but I think it only fits RHD cars properly.

It looks like MikeL from the teamfc3s forum is fabbing a RHD version of the Run Racing pod.

That **** looks gay. 1FastT2 is making a gauge pod that holds 3 50mm gauges that sits below an aftermarket radio deck. I think hes also wanting to make one that removes the ash tray for a s-afc holder.

I'd rather move my eyes just a bit to the left to see a gauge then look down below the radio. To each his own, though....

Combine that with the Mickey Mouse style, and you have four more gauges in close proximity to the existing cluster. 3 Guages in place of the idiot cluster, and three more on the A pillar, and you should have all the info you need without having to turn your head. Mount the remote panel for your Valentine 1 on the steering column cover, and the info system is complete.
