So i was very bored over the weekend and had the idea to make a custom gauge mount. I toyed with where to mount and how many and ended up picking the steering column as the best location. (thought A pillar at first but didn't like the idea of possibly have a gauge flying at your face if the airbag went off haha). So far i made a mold of the steering column top and made a mold of a gauge pod that i had lying around. I will have pics up tomorrow of everything.

If anyone wants a mold of anything PM me and let me kno!

 

Lets see it!

 

Ok so i got bored and took some pics haha.

Here is my interior before:

The top of the steering column cover:

The goodies:

Outcome of the steering column cover mold:

The different gauge pods i was using: (the ones on the left were cut out of a A pillar panel, the others are srt4 pod replacements, i used one of the black ones and trimmed the backing out.)


More pics to follow...

 

there's a member on v6 performance, that did something very similar it was a very lengthy process but the outcome was super sexy...

dont mount them too high or you will be obstructed

 

^ ya i was originally gonna do a dual gauge mount but im doing one in the center, and it comes out perfect because i see the gauge and then i see the numbers on the speedo

 

I think it was one of the early S/C'ed guys back in 2006, but what they did was mount the gauges ontop of the center speaker so it was visible and didn't affect the air-bags.

 

ya, but the steering column shouldnt be an issue. I dont know if im really planning on using it- lol, just bored so im making stuff

 

I might be interested.... Spent a lot on the cf holders though
