Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

1) http://www.percyshp.com/HyperFiber.html
Now it's easy to make a DEVO hat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_dome

2) i would so do this (make the pillars myself) if my crap was together.

3) i am ASSuming that "getting 50 people together" means we would have to put money down first?

i am sincererly and seriously interested and would definitely pay in advance as long as it is a quality product as i need a place to mount gauges w/out drilling into the dash in any way. i will accept 3 holes instead of my originially desired 4 holes if this helps the situation any.

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

I'm with you totally. Since we are pretty close on the triples, I'll call him and try to hammer out the details. I'm sure this will all go through him as far as ordering and everything else. he has a diesel performance shop in Texas called Complete Performance. I will take pictures of mine tonight because I haven't recieved any from him through email yet.

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

Pics would be awesome. BTW are these fiberglass or ABS? Also are these a complete replacement for the pillar, a cover that goes on top of the entire existing pillar, or just a pod that goes on top over a section of the pillar? I wonder how many times I could say pillar in one post....

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

Ok, here are some pics. This ford one is a slip over style. I can check to see if the chevy ones can be made as a replacement but I'm doubting it.

It isn't as bad as you'd think. I put my not so important gauge there. It is sure better than a gauge on the floor.

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

Ok guys, we're really close. Would the people who voted for a quad and dual settle for a triple? If so we would only be 13 away from our goal of 50.
