Ditto, and guys, it looks much better with it like this.

I really like the pods you made Horse, thanks for the great deal. Once I got the pod I sanded it smooth, then I used black shoe polish to match it to the interior black pieces. It looks great, better in person, and I pushed the gauges further into the pod after aking these pictures, so they fit flush now. They will match real nicely once I finnally install my brushed rings that I got forever ago. Got it put in yesterday so here it is:

The only thing I think you could get away with is mixing a metallic silver and a yellow together, no better yet, use a metallic silver base and a couple of coats of a yellow translucent to get it to the right shade. its possible.

Ok, I just got my M/O back in return mail today, so I'm guessing you didn't get it, lol. If you think I skipped out on this or something, I didn't. Postal service just ****** me up. Send me your mailing info again and I'll send it Fed Ex ASAP.

I sent yours out today - but I still havnt cashed the WU money order just FYI

 

[bazooka joe]

can someone who installed their guages tell me how they got them in without screwing up the plastic? i can't seem to get them in without brute force and that's when things go bad, please help??

 

[Velocifero]

did you trim the edges down? I just trimmed mine down to a little lip around the edge then took out the black box , moved the radio down and then put the pod in, fit just like the black box, held in place by the little metal bar and the silver molding. what are you scratching, the car or the pod?

 

[bazooka joe]

well, i keep working at it and got them in the wholes, without cracking the plastic like i did the first time. i just had to keep triming the edge down till they fit. thanks for the help by the way.

[bazooka joe]

and before anyone else asks:

No there are no more being made. The deal was a one time shot. I made as many as people asked me to make, part of my promise to those who got them was that I would never make more. End of story.
