    My gauge pod, now with happy little gauges.

    Sucks that I won't be able to wire them up till this weekend, too busy with work. But boy they look nice.

    Pretty nice looking indeed. AC is needed here unlike most places, but alot of people have nice things in place of ac vents - I envy you people and I only use it when needed.

              Is that the guage thing you were working on? If you made that, it is sick. Looks great either way. How hard is it to wire up an oil pressure guage?

                I'm going to make a switch for the A/F.

                I just need to bolt on a few sender units for them saturday, and run 3 wires.

                You will have to buy a premade adapter for the sending units, or like I did fabricate your own from aluminum.

                  Good job JS

                  Curious - why did you go with Autometer for the aFr, and VDO for the rest?

                  Is that Autometer the "Z series"? Thats what I picked for the M3 (also installed but not wired :oops: ) - same look as oem.

                      VDO does not make a A/F gauge to match in the Vision series.

                      The A/F gauge is Z Series.

                        I had an Autometer A/F guage in my Camaro. For the first couple of weeks you'll be mezmerized by the little dancing lights and will find yourself staring at them while you're driving. After that they start to lose their novelty and fade into the background so I wouldn't really worry about a switch for it unless you just can't tear your eyes away from it. That pod looks beautiful though, any plans to make more of them?

                          Jordan did you make that gauge pod? I would be interested if you wanted to make more and sell them, I don't feel like paying $400 for that bmp kit.

                            Jordon.The gauge pod looks great. I currently making a 3 gauge one at the moment. I only needed 3 gauges, and it also meant i could use the existing molds/shape on each side where the vent cotrol wheels were so it was a little easier to shape around


                            How exactly did you texture yours mate? Im finding it hard to work out how to get mine to match the dash. The only way i can think is some kind of textured/bubble effect paint, but that seems a bit sh*t
