Re: Custom Gauge Pod

OK, then I will repost my question because it looks like a bunch of stuff got dumped yesterday.

I love it, how much for you to make another?

Re: Custom Gauge Pod

As long you don't charge me a ridiculous price I absolutely would. Tell you what. Price the materials (don't buy anything) add your time and shoot me a price. Is it wrapped in vinyl or is that paint?

Re: Custom Gauge Pod

It only took 3 days to make.. Would be shorter but we just did alittle at a time... The gauge facing is actually good.. I can see both gauges great from the drivers sides.. To fix the angels would be a pain right now since i would have to cut and refiberglass it again...

Re: Custom Gauge Pod

I like it. I want to ditch my pillar pod for something a little more subtle and this fits the bill right nicely!

Re: Custom Gauge Pod

Yeah, I've got one of those Avery, just haven't put it in yet because my WB and dataport are in the pocket there. I'd have to move those too.
