I'm still debating...

Now I am too. I did not realize that it would be a blindspot issue. luckily, the part was cheap.

I just ordered the same pod. I'll decide when it get's here which one I like more.

Please post pics up when you get it. Since the Ecogauge deal crapped out, I've put my gauges on hold. But I am still interested in what it looks like in real life, and on the dash, etc.

I was not happy that the a-pillar pod is too large to just pop on. I had to go buy a Dremel kit last night so that I can cut it down to size. I'll probably just leave the triple pod black since it matches the dash.

The pod looks and feels kinda chintzy but I guess I can't expect much for $9.99. The hole in the back is too small for my autometer connectors to fit through so I'll have to drill out bigger holes.

Each pod can be twisted to give you whatever view you want of the gauge so I did that to show you.

The a-pillar pod from Glowshift is larger than the stock a-pillar so I'll be doing some cutting there too. What a PITA.

Hmmm, interesting. Do you think you're going to use it?

LtNoogie · 03-14-2009, 07:44 PM

I just wired it up. I'm going to tape it onto the dash and then make a video because I need to know if the gauges are working correctly.

Sodium Duck · 03-14-2009, 08:06 PM

sweeeet, can't wait.

LtNoogie · 03-14-2009, 10:29 PM

Here's a picture of the temporary setup until I rework the a-pillar gauge pod. Note the four velcro tabs holding it down. Blue painters tape and duct tape does not want to stick to the dash.

The video is more about the gauges than the gauge pod.

very cool

Ok, one gripe about putting the gauges in that location. That nice shiny metal bezel around the gauges reflect onto the windshield during the day. In the evening, the backlighting also shows up on the windshield.

I may have to put a black shroud or something over it.

Just go to the Autometer web site. Print a color picture of the gauges you want to "install" and stick them all over your dash. I don't know how you would illuminate them at night though.
