its nice, why were the gauge pods made so very different from

each other?



does it block the defroster?

do you glue or bolt it down?

I don't have any details on it. I saw it and posted. I'm going to take a drive down and check out his new shop in a couple of weeks. It looks like the cover/GP may cover the triangular vent for the side defroster. The windshield defroster looks uniobstructed

Rob x-7 04-16-2004 05:58 PM

a couple of slits in it could allow the side misters to operate

nice but i doubt anyone will spend that kinda cash for it. remember, this is fc's we are talking about, not vettes haha



perhaps if he sold it at the Save price of $130.00

Whats wrong with FCs? Why wouldnt someone with an FC buy that?

Jims5543 04-16-2004 08:48 PM

I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!

Hey, he’s right, some people won’t spend any money on their FC. We’ve all seen them before . . . . . . guys running around with JC Whitney dubs, paid $63 extra and got JC to ship them some “performance” tires, big ‘ol nasty shag rug all across the dash, seat covers that say BUICK in red letters, 1000 watt K-mart stereo with a built in “sub” that they found at a pick n pull, and when you ask them if that piece of crap actually runs, they just smile and say they’re saving for a vette. Yeah, those guys aren’t too likely to spend more than their heap is worth to get a gauge pod.

wait



but this one says a different price?



http://www.speedmachineperformance.com/inc...il?v=1&pid=3045



which ones right?

BigTurbo74 04-17-2004 01:05 AM

why am i the only one that thinks it looks nasty? are you guys being blinded by the shiney cf? i mean do you want half of your dash cf and the other not for two pods? i'm sure the thing causes a TON of glare on your windshield too... meh whatev,

turbo2fc90 04-17-2004 01:52 AM

Im gunna have to agree with BigT on this one. I personally think cf is nasty no matter where it is on a car. But, to every man his own I guess.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

FlukeSDS 04-17-2004 03:10 PM

I don't like it much either. The fact that it only covers half is not very appealing. Personally I wouldn't get it even if it did cover the whole dash. But like turbo2fc90 said ... to each their own.

Rob x-7 04-17-2004 03:42 PM

reasons why im not crazy about it:



it blocks the demisters



how does it mount? tape?



you would have to drill into the top of the dash to run the wires for

the gauges



the gauge pods dont match each other, they look out of place



how do you clean the windshield behind it?



get alot of glare off it
