Had one, loved it. Looked stock and gauges were in perfect viewing angle. Had boost and water in it. I think Tripower makes the two hole IIRC.

Frank's tripod system is MUCH better IMO. http://hometown.aol.com/flyrx7/Rx7-Gauge-Pod.html

some people have had the tripower melt or that is deform in the hot sun. Do a search.

Crispy also has a nice write up on his site on his install.

i didnt like it at all. I read several reviews where people found that it had melted. I also dont like the texture and the angle it sat at. I loved franks pod, excellent quality their but I ended up putting gauges in the dash so sold it.

Ive got it and love it. I have water temp and oil temp in it. I have heard that Frank's pods are better but he was out when I was buying and I live in cloudy washington so the concern for melting didnt really bother me. I think I ordered mine from www.rx7.com

I also have Frank's tripod and it looks great. Have had several persons ask me if it was stock. I just had work on my car and don't have the option of looking at anything other than the road.
