This is weird. In the year that Ive been selling these pods & the company has been producing, not one of these concerns has ever been brought to my attention. Everyone thats said anything about it has only said good things. Everyone has told me they look stock & thats why they like them. As to the price, I dont come up with that. I didnt produce this product so the company that makes them came up with the price & from what Ive seen from other custom made guage pods....85.00 is high but not outrageous. Back when this was being first made, it was the only guage pod you could buy for our cars & people liked them because you didnt have to mess up your existing interior to install it (like pillar pods) and you didnt have to paint it to match (as to why yours doesnt match, I dont know...it seems to match everyone elses car) I also dont see what the problem is with thin plastic. Its not like you throw your steering column around or have a good possibility of breaking it. If it was thicker plastic, the pod would probably be twice the size & end up being too tall. Now on the install, there really isnt a way to get the clips on there so it clips in. Thats just not something that can be done easily & if it was, I dont even want to know what it would cost!! All in all, everyone Ive sold this pod to that has gotten back to me has seemed happy with it. Ive never had a complaint so I find it weird that all of these concerns are all of sudden coming up.
