Umm... this may be a crazy and wildly novel idea, but have you tried www.pettitracing.com? Or check the FS forums...

I guess what I meant was, a better price than the $100 that everybody is selling theirs...thanks for stating the obvious, Rob.

Do you ever auto-x or track your car? They definitely impede vision of the left apex.

Tyler, not if you place the pod at the very bottom of the A-pillar. Mine is wedged down as far as it will go. I can see the gauge quite clearly, and it does not impede my view of left handers (I quite frequently AX and track my car). Course, I also tend to sit very upright in my seat, so maybe that helps.

I have the Greddy 60mm Peak/Holds and I love them.. I spent a little more time finding the silver faced ones (Available in White, Black, Silver) as the lighting is almost spot on to stock at night. I just wish they would have made the black gauges in amber lighting also instead of just green because they would match the stock setup almost perfect.

Ditto here. As mentioned earlier, I trimmed the single gauge pod to sit lower on the pillar. I'm only 5'8" but also tend to sit very upright. While I can't say my view to the left apex is totally unaffected, it's minimal. For anyone taller, it would probably be less yet.

I agree with a single pod, my comments were directed toward double pods (or even worse, triple pods, yikes!).
