Default gauge pod???

soooo i got a volts, fuel pressure, and AFR gauges to put in my EG, currently i just have the fuel pressure hooked up sitting in a dual pod on my a pillar. i dont like the look of pillar pods, i have been searching for something else to put the gauges in, and havent come up with much. anyonre know where i can get a pod to replace my vents? i found this for a subaru and was thinking it might work on the top vent in the middle of the dash, any suggestions/comments?? here is a link to the pod i am thinking about......

No idea if it'd fit, but probably not. I mean it looks right, just I would doubt the Honda and Subaru would have exactly the same sized vents. It would be easy enough to make one if you made a template from cardboard for the base and cut the pod parts out of 2in PVC for 52mm gauges. Glue the pods where you want them and fiberglass over it all to blend it together.

are you running boost?? if not there is no real need for an AFR assuming you're talking Air/Fuel ratio. if you can knock it down to 2 gauges then you can get the cluster bezel with 2 pods mounted into. auto meter makes one, abs dynamics makes one, NRG makes a carbon fiber one of some sort.

mhmm well i do plan on eventually boosting. i have a usdm gsr swap in my hatch :D...anyways o got bored today and played with an extra dash piece let me know wat u guys think.....




the gauges are just sitting in the pvc piping rite now so they obviosly arnt straight ....the fuel pressure gauge i have is a black auto meter as well so i think i would put the AFR on the left side of the steering wheel and the volts/FP on the right side .....i also found this that i might order and see how it looks....
