pics - new gauge pod from do-eng

Now here's a good idea. I'm surprised someone hasn't though of this before.

They're even ripping Japan off with the asking price though

Mike L is going to be making the dash ones soon, but they will be on the left side for LHD cars. and they will fit will a pillar pod as well. he said somewhere around $125usd out in a couple weeks I think.

I noticed that... the gauges must be pretty high.. probably lose a lot of vision.

with both a pillar pods and that dash pod.. wouldn't you have some serious issues with blocking a bit of line of sight?

Will they fit 52mm and/or 60mm?

I made a Carbon guage pod to go over the idiot lights, but you are right the signifigance of that one is you can still see the warning lights..

I can tell you from experience. The "triple pillar pod" most people use kills visibility much more than the corner dash, mickey mouse, or logicon pods do.

Ever try turning left with the pillar pod, OMG you must about hit the curb every time.

But beside it looking like a tumor growing there, it covers up the defrost vent:

works fine on the US drivers side as it becomes a dash console gague pod. Doesn't cover any vents or block the logicon.
