anyone have that aluminum gauge pod bezel ... it goes around the aftermarket radio and has 3 gauge pods...well i got one from the guy who sold me the TII ... and im just putting it in now after a month and a half...but anyways the thing is .... its one of the worst pieces ever, how did you all get the **** to work



its got no holes for the radio to screw into on the sides to support the radio from flopping around, its just really badly made i think



i dunno if anyone has it i have seen it for sale though

That thing didnt look that bad in the pics, I never did look at it closely though. Cant you just drill it out?

I just made my own from fiberglass and bolted it to the stock radio chassis. Remember on S4s the radio is offset to one side so thats the way I made it. I figure one day I may need the space to the right of the radio for a switch or some ****.

I havent driven my car since November so its nice to see a pic of the interior, lol. Still have to put in those sled driver pedals.

I would need a radio chassis from a S5 to do it. I wonder if there would be

any interest in them? I could make some in a textured black for

those who dont want the high gloss.

also if you actually did make something for us, i would only want the bezel that goes where the stock radio goes...with a space for the radio and a space below for 2 or 3 guages not sure how many im gonna get yet...got one so far....then ill get EGT and prolly oil temp or a/f meter..
