Custom Carbon Fiber wrapped gauge pod.
 
So i decided i wanted to go FI next year however i didn't have a place for the pods out there so i made my own. Hope yall like it!

I made this myself and this was the first time working with CF. Ill def do better next time around.

can you see down low while you're driving? maybe okay for constant gauges like volt or something.

Not bad but like kenchan said its going to be hard to see them unless you have some sort of alarm on them to let you know that something is up.

Neat idea tho.

You can see them well enough, i have the oil pressure up in the pillar on my left. Boost and A/F are down there and available for a quick glance.

Honestly the bigger deal is the slight glare. If i make another ill put the pods a bit further back, raise them both up a tad and then add a bit for the Tien controler.

can you get those anti-glare films for phones on your gauges?


..or are u referring to the glossy cf finish?

Mozen 09-15-2014 10:25 PM

No its the lense so the anti glare finish is a good idea. Ill look into it! Thanks!

It looks well made. Good job! I'm not sold on the location though.

I love it. I love anything carbon though!

Location is deff not optimal for a race car or serious track use however for casual use it works well enough. Right now i just have the boost gauge and the AF gauge down there but both are more casual info since im looking to put a SC in not turbos.

I appreciate the comments tho! I understand it wont be for everyone but i really didn't want to tackle the 3 gauges up top.
