That one is nice Will, leaves the space up front too. They are available with only 2 guage holes instead of 3.

Heres another nice one:

yeah... dont get one on ebay, they leave holes on the sides... very unattractive

If there was enough interest I could have fiberglass copies made of the guage pod made. Back when I made it there were not enough genuinely interested people to make selling copies worth while.

I don't really want an A-pillar one. I would really like to keep all the vents too. Jordan, would you be willing to make one for me that only uses one of those middle vents for 2 gauges rather than the whole thing? For a price of course ;)

wont fit.

wont fit.

Ah ok. BMP has one that I really like. A car at work has the same one from BMP and I will probably end up getting it with oil temp, oil pressure, and possibly battery voltage.

Anybody know how the Lukas pod mounts?

i bought one of the Parker units,
great fit and good workmanship.

you'll have to trim foam from under carpet area right beneth gauges or they'll stick out (VDO 2 1/16 Dia models).

so far I'm happy with it, but was able to see gauges a little better with old console.,
perhaps not a problem for cars with Automatic transmitions.

Best setup's I seen were the Alpina Digital ones, lot's of moola and hard to find, it fits into driver side cener vent, perfect location.

Jordan, i would like a set of yours but center vents are crucial on cabrios 8~P

[PeaveyBassist]

If I got one, it would either be the Lukas one that goes above the ashtray, OR the parker performance one that goes on the A pillar. I dunno about the A pillar though. I might be a little ricey but it would keep the gauges up high where I could see them without even really looking off the road at all. Hmm... A pillar one is $60 and the Lukas one is $40.

if you're as badass as charlie or myself, $31.38 has you a good tri-gauge pod to mount on the dash. i think the radio is a good spot, but tunes are teh good occasionally.... and also the HVAC vents are a good idea, but not on a daily

so be hardcore, or not:

Count me as interested. I've wanted one since you first made yours.

I hardly ever have my center vents on. I hate heat blowing in my face, and I don't use my AC.
