Well this is what happends when you get bored, and there is no dam gauge pods out for your car yet!!!!

This is temporary I know it looks like ****, but i needed a place for both gauges until someone makes a nice one

 

I have to give your credit for atleast attempting to do what no one has tried to do yet.

 

it would look better bro if you molded it fully to the pillar!

 

Its so hard, its so much easier to say it then to do it, As you can see I treid to bondo it, but it didnt work out lol I just got lazy and said **** it until someone makes one for our cars!!!! BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT WILL BE!

All i know is that the first person to produce pods will make a killing.........

 

ill be making one for my brother soon! i love bondo and fiberglass!

 

def looks nice but it sticks out a little bit too much. gotta give you lots of credit for attempting tho.

 

my question is... i have side curtain air bags if i try to remove my pod will the bags pop out ?

 

No, the will not pope out. Just make sure your battery is unhooked.

 

They wont deploy even if your car is turned on

 

it loks good man!!! give you props for trying to do something no one else has done...

 

Looks like crap, but good job... working with this stuff is really fun and if you keep at it you'll be able to make something really nice. Takes tons of patience

 

Yeah, I agree its pretty fun, but it takes alot of patients & skill

 

Not to shabby. you should sand the back to fit better then epoxy it on and bondo it around the sides. Once bondo has dried sand and paint.
How do you like the aeroforce guage?

 

Nice, it is a start...

 

The aeroforce gauge is nice.

And to show you how picky I am, The pod is now in my garage LOL

I now have my mechanical boost gauge in my stock a pillar, and am planning on mounting my scan gauge on the steering column tomm....unless you guys can think of another place

 

i agree with the majority on this one. Couldve done alot better job. Looks like you kinda rushed it. Ive done pod guages on a t-bird and didnt use any bondo at all. It takes a fair amount of heat and pacients to get the plastic to mold but it looks alot better in the end. I also used screws to hold it on to the molding but made it so it was flush mounted and hiden under the other trimwork. As long as your happy with it and it serves it purpose, thats all that matters.

 

i would have to say good job. nice atempt at it. if i were to do that i probobly wouldnt have the paitence id end up braken it by the end. so yeah good job

 

That little compartment to the left of the steering wheel. Get some plastic or something and mount it in the front cut a hole and put in guage. I think that would look kick ass.

 

Not bad for do-it-yourself. If you spent a little longer molding it, it woulda been hotter. I cant wait till the actual ones come out.

 

what is bondo?

 

bondo is a body filler. its a paste w/ a hardener once mixed you have a few mins before that shiz hardens for life lol

 

Where did you get your replacement A-Pillar from?

 

Gm Parts Direct, Its a base cobalt A-pillar with the side air bags.

Part # 15253020

Maybe this will influnce some people to get out and try to make some

 

looks like u had to do some custom hardwork there man, However you got the boost gauge the srt has stock. lol. jk.

 

Yeah its nicer than our stock boost gauge, its mechanical
