I made a gauge pod in the center vent and was wondering if I should block it off behind the pod. Take a look at the pictures. I still need to trim behind the unit so it recesses further in on the bottom.

 

There's no need since they won't even be hot to the touch. The lights in them are just too weak.

 

I had an A/F gauge mounted there for 7 years. No issues.

 

good luck with the glowShit gauges, they are impossible to read during the day.

 

wow thats ugly.

 

definitly not clean. Why skrew holes in that nice S5 rubber surround?

 

Whatever happened to using A-piller pods?
I do love that tiny rotary housing and rotor though!

 

? That's a OS engine..

As for the mount, it's ghetto as hell, but if it works for you

 

no 3 gauge A pillar pods avialable for our cars that i could find.

If you know of any let us know


Hybrid

 

yeah i have to agree it does look a little haggard... but it could be a decent lookin set if you made it a little cleaner get rid of those tacky screw things, and yeah i can imagine those little light ones bein hard to read durin the day

 

personally i would take a bad looking center piece over A pillar pods. its too played out and for some reason i just think it looks tacky.

that and cops + thiefs will have an added reason to look into you.

 

i agree with this guy, plus you always see the honda losers ridin around with em and they have like digital clocks in the pillar and other useless stuff like that, gives off a bad image in my book

It seems a bit pricey but I think you should contact this person for a three gauge A-pillar pod

 

will how would you hold it in without glue or epoxy. as for the holes the material forms right back and just looks like a needle was poked in it.

 

What is that rotary thing on the dash?

 

I would attach it on the inside of the trim. that way the trim covers the mounting hardware.

 

Its a rotary engine from/for a r/c plane. The company is called OS, they make very good tiny engines. lol

 

Freakin cute.

 

Hell ya. Just use some Tub 'n' Tile caulk to stick those gauges in there. A big ole dollop of the same stuff will hold that pretty little Rotary engine shaped air-freshener on the top of the dash as well.
