okay, i decided to be creative, and design my own gauge pod. its deff unique and 100% original (to my knowledge). Let me know what u think. I know not everyone will like it. lol. Btw, it is my FIRST time ever fiberglassing. also, it's not done, obviously. also, shitty cell phone pics.

clicky the picky.

i give props for the hard work but IMO if u have a gauge it should be somewhere in sight (and im a big fan of not looking anywhere but the road while im going fast and worrying about my gauges)

deff feel ya dude. thats why theres a stupid narrowband and a volt meter going there. something that doesn't require much attention. but i know. this pod is more for show than anything.

keep em coming.

Yea, but the front cupholders are in the worst location. I hit cups every time I shift into 1st, 3rd, or 5th. I only use the back ones now, GM effed up big time in the cupholder placement department.

I like the gauge pod by the way, very nice work.

lol...my buddy said the same thing. when i had the base layer, i was gonna take pics n tell everyone it was a custom enclosed fiberglass box for tweeters. lol!

and thanks to everyone who replied...good or bad. if everyone liked it, it wouldn't be unique.
