Hi all, I've been taking a composites class for almost 10 weeks now, took a while to decide what I wanted to do for a project but I decided to make a custom gauge pod for fun and to save some money instead of getting the ones sold one genuinesaab.com.

Pillar Gauge Pod First Self Fitting Prototype:




Here is a video of the first self fitting prototype just finished tonight with a water temp gauge (sender signal not connected yet) in the night.

Let me know what you think and let me know if you are interested.

Gauge Pods Now Available For Sale (limited supply!)

I have gotten the prototypes figured out pretty well by this point and will require very little effort/skill to buff and paint.

I can sell them either completely buffed and finished and will slide on with minimal effort or unbuffed with classic fiberglass/composite appearance for less.

At this point each part takes approximately 5-8 hours of "work" including drying times etc. so more like 3-4 hours of actual labor. So I cannot sell these quite as cheap as I'd at this time (price should go down if/when I make a mold for multiple productions).

Single Gauge Pod:

Price Unbuffed/Finished But Visually Acceptable (Easily Slides On): $35
Price Buffed/Finished/Smooth (Easily Slides On): $55


Dual Gauge Pod:

Price Unbuffed/Finished But Visually Acceptable (Easily Slides On): $60
Price Buffed/Finished/Smooth (Easily Slides On): $85


PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE!! LIMITED SUPPLY!! PM ME OR EMAIL FOR INQUIRIES.

Sounds good, I already have one person interested and will be making his soon and will post pictures of pre-finished and post-finished product as well as pictures of the holes for wires to go through :)


Two people are now in line.
