Gauge pod crazy, DCW got hooked up on building pods... Options

[doGGy]

This is the 3 attemt to build the pods for the celica... Had this idea floating around long enouth till SnapshotGT came and kicked me Well - had to give it a try.. This is the center dash pod, exactly this one in pics is still a prototipe - and there are few minor issues with it - so the second one im building will have everything fixed. This one sits a bit too low, and gauges arent directed towards the driver as much as i wanted. The new one will have the Clock visibility issue fixed, and aimed more at the driver + gauges will sit a bit more higher. Looks will be the same. This one will be for 52mm gauges.

Here are few pics - let me know what you guys think about this.













Its sits flush on the dash, just what in these pics i didnt wanted to glue it totaly, so i used only one strip of the double side tape..

And dont ask about the Triple A-pillar what you can see in these pics - i will write about it later once i will finish with it totaly. this one what is visible in pics was made for a client (my ex celica owner) and i will see if it will be posible to get it in prduction.

That is one of the coolest things ive seen, i like that waaay better then the side pillar guages. I think once you get them the way you want them they'r going to be perfect. The one thing id worry about is how permanent are they? How do the wires get down where they need to be?

All the wires goes between center dash plastic and dash, i made the pod what way - that i will cover the top piece of the center plastic , so you can just put the wires there , cuz there is enouth room to get them in thi place + the pod cover them totaly.

I will be installing this prototipe tomorow to a cliens GT4, will get pics of how everything goes, and where i put the wiring and etc.
