how is that done i've searched but nothing all i found was the people that make them i want to know how to make them

 

Which one? And where's your punctuation? It helps people not hate you instantly.

 

You don't want to know how I made mine.

 

I bought mine.

 

1FastT2 used to sell them here. He had a Group But interest thread recently.

Here is what it looks like. It uses all 4 stock stereo mounting screws and has the cut out for a DIN sized stereo. There were several options as well.

 

buy the pillar pods. they're cheap

Stereo mount:
Remove stereo
buy sheet of aluminum and 2 1/8" hole saw
cut aluminum
cut holes
make mounting brackets from leftover aluminum
install & enjoy your new spartan interior

 

Personally, I dislike the pillar pods because they stand out (and many people are retarded thieves) and I hate losing ANY visibility to the A-pillar. I think what I may do is find some plastic or make a fiberglass gauge plate for under my stereo.

 

Yeah, A-pillar=ricey.

Spartan interior? How is putting gauges where there is normally NOTHING taking away from the interior? Noob.

Also, If you look at mine, it sits flush with the stereo surround, not sunken it like the homemade ones. I personally love the way it looks and only get compliments. I also got it to look like the factory textured rubber surround. Primer, flat black, then a thicker layer of clearcoat. Sweet.

 

Idk, I think the sunken in look works ok since they did that with the logicon from the factory.

 

Yeah, but the little 1/4 inch out make a world of difference when you start wiring all the gauges and stereo harness. I was thankful.

 

The picture is silverrotor's car. If I remember correctly, the A-pillar pods are "made" with just a regular two gauge pod, and a single gauge pod. These are available from Autometer and many other suppliers.

I like A-pillar pods for important gauges like a wideband and boost. Means that you can glance out of the corner of your eye and not take eyes off the road. To say A-pillar pods are "ricey" is just strange as race cars have been mounting gauges on the A-pillar for a very long time specifically for the reason of visibility. In my opinion, putting primary gauges below the dash line is unsafe as your eyes must leave the road for several seconds.

 

this is SOOO true

 

Peripheral vision FTW.

I can see them out of the corner of my right eye. Also, if I had a RACE car, i would have the 2 gauge holder over the dash (the one that puts the gauges to the top right corner) and a 3 gauge holder where the idiot lights go, or dash vents.

Since it is a STREET car, its not that serious. My boost gauge is over the left dash demister, and oil, water and A/F are down in the holder. Soon however, I do plan on getting the overdash cover and but boost there along with a wideband gauge, and replace the A/F with oil temp.

 

Thanks on the inputs And yes that is silverrotor's car. So all i really need is a sheet of aluminum? right?

 

I do like the clusters that go where the idiot cluster is, but I haven't seen many of them and unless you made it by hand it probably wouldn't let you see the idiot cluster any more.
