Can't find guage pods!

hey all, i have an 87 tII and i currently have the crappy autometer dual guage pod. it really stinks, i want to know if someone can tell me where i can find a replacement guage pod that would replace the whole a-pillar piece.

DIY. Mold it using bondo or wood filler or glass and cover the whole thing in CF or ask Mazdaspeed7 to vaccuum-gab CF it for you! If you just want it molded and fiberglassed, I'll do it. I am good with glass, but not CF yet due to high start up costs.

if you can do that, great! tell me how much and how long and i'll get the money to you asap. i don't care what it is made of, i'm just tired of that cheap looking guage pod hanging half way off my a-pillar. also, would it bolt on as securely as the stock one did?

I think www.re-amemiya.co.jp sells these, or you can always call the importer company I use called aerodyne industries (aeroinfo@pacbell.net, 714-539-5400)

Ummm...it would be fused together. This is how they assemble the McLaren F1, remember. How much? I guess $100 should cover it, including shipping back to you.

And for that price you could send both pillars so that I could make them look the same since I will be sanding on the drivers one and all.

I would need 1 weekend. So if I got them on Fri, I would ship them the next week. If I got them on a Mon, I would have them for almost 2 weeks. But no longer, Scout's Honor.
