Gauge pods
Any body know who makes them? I want to put one in the center console of my 10AE in the space where the stock radio used to be.. I have seen some pics and it looks really clean plus they wont be so visible from the outside of the car.

And they wont be visible durring sprinted driving.
but to answer your question, no one makes them, you have to make one yourself, take a piece of metal, plastic, carbon fiber, etc. and put in it the stock radio location, cut 52mm gauge holes, done...

I know there are no specific companies... i was thinking more long the lines of maybe someone who does it as a hobby or sidejob on this forum.. I am not too worried about being able to see it during very spirited driving.

then why have them? bc it looks cool? but yet you want them in a location where they cant be seen? i'm confused...
not to flame though, theres a group buy going on a set that replaces the idiot lights, i think thats a good location

Well my most important gauges are on the pillar. The rest will be ones that i wont necessarily be checking at all times. Is that so far-fetched? I have thought about the idiot light location, im just trying not to have to replace the idiot lights just to keep the originality of the interior as intact as possible. There is already a hole in the location i chose so I am trying to make use of it and add functionality as to kill two birds with one stone. To the rest of you guys thanks for all the resources i'm gonna check all those out.

The angled din panel that styx showed is for sure the best i've seen for that location. I did want something so I could see it a little better. So I went to a idiot light pod. Here's a link if you haven't already seen it.
