Gauge Pod

[maverick0912]

does anyone know where i can get a triple gauge pod for the 8g without having to customize it? doule pod works too i guess... aight thanks.

I don't think that there's one made for our cars. I bought an Integra 3 Pod and is in the process of modifying it to look like its stock but it takes time.

Are you talkin bout the pilar pod or the gauge cluster pod for the speedometer and stuff?? Ive always wanted to try to make a gauge cluster pod, but never got around to doin anythin about it.

[Lazarus]

it's not hard to do teh gauge cluster pods. I did some a couple years ago bondo fiberglass a glue gun a dremel and some 2 1/2" PVC piping from home depot.

[Lazarus]

oh year for teh 2 gauge pod it's like a 97 integra dual pod and for teh tripple you need teh 2000 Civic both are gonna need to be modded. There isn't a stock one as of yet

[ChuloMxcn]

any pics?? how hard is it to work with bondo, ive never messed with it??

[Lazarus]

it was my first real project it looks good I dont have any pictures I cant remember who did the first one but Give me a sec I'll see if I can find it

[Lazarus]

you owe me for this one. David bernard was the one who first pulled this off and I stole the design from him.

how does it look in the car??

[ipaintu]

I dont know I Havent an Acura nor Honda. Me and OBX was speaking about it tho. We dont have anything to put in the holes So it really would be Eye candy for us 4 bangers.

[pinoyesv6]

let me get this straight. you are gonna get the honda/acura pod. cut out the pod and then mold it onto the galant's cluster bezel??

i dunno about you, but for people like me, we have to pay good money for them things, you can get like a 10 foot piece of pvc pipe for like less than 10 bucks and you can make dozens of those pods.

[pinoyesv6]

here's one that i found in my box of unfinished projects. i slapped on a quick coat of primer so you can see it better but yea, this one needs to be sanded primed and painted.

im not selling it yet haha. but if you want to finish it, i'll break out the 5mp camera and show you what has to be done to finish it.

[maverick0912]

ey pinoy..which one did you use for that mini project? name of car and yr? you did a swell job on that.

[Lazarus]

it looks like he just glased teh front flat and but teh holes out. or glued teh holes in place and glassedaround them. I dont think he took that off another car. VegasMatt did that too If I remember I think he just used ABS plastic

[pinoyesv6]

yea, i just glassed the front. buncha sandind, some filler, used a hole saw to cut out the holes and then more sanding and filling.

[pinoyesv6]

here's my other gauge pod.

the total process isn't that hard at all. the 2 hardest parts is getitng the gauge cups lined up straight and blending the cups in so things look smooth. aka lots of filler and sanding

[Lazarus]

Looks good I wish I had a camera I'd show a pic of mine. I need to re glass it I cracked it puting my Autometers in I hate sanding after doing those.
