Ive had mine for 2+ years. Black paint, black interior, and no AC... Car that gets painfully hot in the summer here in NC and my tripower pod looks the same as the day I bought it..
Very weird that some people are having issues... Call Tripower and get everyone together tha has had this problem. Im sure they would much rather replace them than alienate the community.

I have the ATI (Auto-Tech Interiors) center speaker dual pod in both my FD's, and I love them. They hold both 52 and 60mm gauges, so you can throw the Defi BF series in them as well. They swivel in all directions and then you can lock them into place for the ideal viewing angle. And they don't block any vision at all (I'm a 5'4" female, so if my vision's not blocked, yours won't be either, lol). Take a look...
There's a bunch more pics on my website as well.

ATI customer support is OK, they are polite but could only offer to give me a discounted price on a replacement, this price is $60ish dollars.
Now I don't know if it was just a problem with the materials used to manufacture the batch mine was a part of, but I overall I don't think it is worth the risk to try this product. I do appreciate their attempt to fix the situation by offering a discount on a replacement though.

It is completely unnoticeable....
I will add, my car is also garage kept 99% of it's life. Hopefully it doesn't deform as others have mentioned..... time will tell.

Those that live in hotter climates, have you tried utilizing a reflective windshield screen when the car is parked? Are your windows tinted?
Just some thoughts. I know our poor FD's are known to have weak interior's. The peeling issues from the 93's come to mind. I am blessed with a 94 that was garage kept, but I still use a reflective screen in the summer when it is parked outside...

Exactly what I did and no issues with the Tri-Point pod.
