Quite impressive - kudo's on your smooth transitions, and a very fine finish paint job as well. Maybe you should consider making a couple molds before you permanently install it!

Only way to make it worth while to get a mold made and have it injected molded would be if I had like 100 ppl wanting um, other then that not worth it imo

This is the problem with us sedan owners!

I'm probably going aeroforce, and subbing just my one stocker. Either that, or going two-pod, with stock gauge and aeroforce.

There's just too few of us to make anything worthwhile, and those of us who want - will make do, ya know?

So is Zzp thinking of making these guage pods????????? hint hint nudge nudge cause I have tried my hand at the plastics modifying and I suck, would look better if I just hot glued it on to the pillar lol. If you ever got bored and want to make another let me know before you start and i will take it of your hands.

I made a triple gauge pod for my sedan by mating the bottom 3 gauges for the zzp pod and the top portion of my factory pillar. Even got lucky and was able to match the tan and black dotted finish.

Need this

I have been driving around town trying to get someone to mate my coupe RPD pod with my sedan pod so that I can put my RPD in my sedan. Can anyone make one for me?

I got a local guy grafting mine together now. He seems like he knows his stuff and was anti-fiberglass. He's got free access to my car for mock up as needed.

Will post finished product when he's done. It may be a few weeks. I didn't want to rush him and I am in no hurry.

OP, were you able to align any of the two locking tabs when doing yours? I noticed the coupe vs sedan locking tabs are in completely different places.

I think it'll be fine just locked into the dash + the top bolt.

Yeah I'm sure mine will land on something and stay there for the most part once the novelty wears off.

The big appeal to me are as follows:

1. They're kick ass for a factory item.
2. I can set it to see coolant temp at all times. I don't like leaving the DIC on it.
3. They're a kick ass factory item.


My end plans will be RPD + factory boost gauge in pillar.

Interceptor + AEM wideband in cluster surround pods.

Done and done.
