Default custom gauge pod

I got this idea from a guy on svtp. So I went ahead and tried making it my self at work. The vents are so you can still use the a/c and heat. Ignore the Trans temp gauge I used it to make sure it fit in the hole.

I was looking at this again and i really like the idea of it.

I am gonna try and do one for 2 gauges tho not 3. I only need 2 more gauges then I will be content and that way there will be a little more room for air flow available.

So I may try and cut that unless you want to cut it for me? Lol

I'm cutting a 2 gauge one for CTgreddy soon, I'll jet you one out too. Do you want it stainless or something you can paint?

that would be awesome man,

and hmmmmmmm maybe something I can paint. Ill prolly paint it black so it doesnt stand out as much.

PM me a price and all that and then I can give you a shipping address for whenever you are ready to ship

And does it just get held in by the plastic pieces where the air vents used to go? Or did you make a bracket of some sort?
