Dual guage bezel

I have seen several on Cobalts, similar to the ones often found on Mustangs, that add two small gauges in the bezel. Anyone know who sells these?

get it from whyyoumadson. I ordered it from buyhids.com before i knew whyyoumadson could make it. I've placed my order with buyhids.com around nov. 20th, payd 260 bucks and still waiting to receive it. That's a good reason to ask whyyoumadson for it.

for pricing i run it a few different ways you can pm me for your options but none the less they are slightly cheaper then buyhids.

my dash pod in the process



[IMG]http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/boosted106/Cobalt%20Pics/may8thpics031.jpg[/IMG

a column pod i did for a buddy. before i get asked the gauge pod is not gloss black . the paints still wet



the infamous dash pod.. ps is painted






Heres some of my black interior trim











scythe snakes bezel pod





now keep in mind i use NO BONDO. YES i do use a filler but its not actual bondo. for all of you that dont know bondo does not stick to plastic. also i dont have pics of it because i never got around to taking them but my back sides are finished aswell so that it looks oem for the most part.

factory color i use is the actual color that gm supplies but i can paint it the color of the car if people honestly want it but it would cost more.

the dash? more then people want to spend...im saying that without trying to be a dick but honestly most people ive seen on here think my labor should be free and dont understand how many hours went into the dash pod and how i need to test fit everything to insure clearance for the vents and then about another 200-300 in materials alone.

The triple dash pod will be mine before the summer. The way you build it, does it look like the dashboard was forged with the pods, or you can tell it is added on?

you tell me? hows it look in the pics? i mold everything to look oem as possible. the big problem is you will never get a eprfect texture finish back in there so the texture coating that i use isnt perfect but good enough for me.

you be the honest judge and ask people that have seen it in person what they think.

Yes, I fell in love with that triple dash pod. I just spent tons of money in mods, but in 3 or 4 months I'm buying it

go right over the old fabric because the backing will get ruined if you try to peel it apart.
