Guess I forgot to post a picture in your thread of the finished product

Well done!
In addition,you are wise to factor in all the costs to make this item
available for sale.A lot of work goes into making your gauge pods.
There is a limit on what a Z owner will pay for this item.Mass production
through a mold would be the only way to make it profitable.Then you would have
to do a sizeable production run.
I like the finished product.How it blends with the interior.
Looks OEM.
There may be a greater market if the entire assembly was done in carbon fiber.
However,the cost would be great.
Good luck.

The innovate is nice. Takes a couple of shots to calibrate it but it appears to be consistent although it reads a couple tenths above UpRev readings.

Amazon had the best price and it was a Prime item.

Messing around in the garage chasing oil leaks. Figured I shoot you a full size shot. I think it looks great.

GaleForce · 05-30-2014, 05:19 PM

What do you think of the colour match? Close enough? Really tough for me to know without the car here. Looks good in your photo

jwick · 05-30-2014, 05:21 PM

It's really close. The fact that there is a texture change really covers up any difference there might be

I can bust out my good camera and email you non-cell phone pics if you want

Here's a picture of a sweet set up from a forum member. He's running the Premium Single pod a-pillar.

Thanks for sharing Brian!
