Great summary of them henzly23. My question is this; how does the carbon concept gauge pod compare to the Gruppe-s carbon fiber gauge pod...

[IMG]http://www.gruppe-s.com/Subaru/subint/grp_cfpod.jpg[/IMG]

Also are there any other CF gauge pods that would be any better and hold three 60mm Defi guages?

TIA,

As far as
I can tell, the Carbon Concepts pod is angled towards the driver, where the Gruppe-S isn't. The Carbon Concepts is more expensive also. I've looked at both, but only pictures.

Are you sure you don't want the overhang? I have heard some people around here complain of glare on the gauges.

Also, does anyone have the Carbon Concepts or Gruppe-S Carbon Fiber guage pods and can comment on quality?

a little bit of overhang is okay... but that thing is gigantic.

Its not just worrying about the glare off the gauges during the day... its also the light from the gauges reflecting off the inside of the windshield at night... reduces visibility quite a bit.

Where do you get the autometer 2 pod that goes on the sides of the dash? And what is the part #? Thanks

Does anyone know if that defi pod will fit an 05 STi?

I know for a fact it fits in the 04 so it should fit in the 05.

Lotek makes one that is painted to match the factory a-pillar, but I wouldn't go so far as calling it good. Does the job though.

Where do you hide/route the wiring w/ this one? Anyone confirm that the greddy 52mm electronic guages will fit?
GetRDone 07-09-2004 03:41 PM

I have the Autometer Instrument Cluster Gauge Bezel and love it (see henzly23's picture). It is unobtrusive, yet noticable. And it puts aftermarket gauges right in your line of sight. Plus comparitively, it is inexpensive.

The hiring is snaked through the opening that it creates, through the gauge panel. I have two autometer gauges (52mm) and they fit great. The setup ALMOST looks stock.
Wraith 07-12-2004 03:43 PM

I'm just worried how deep it is, cause aren't Greddy electronic guages longer than autometer guages?
Irishman 07-13-2004 11:33 PM

Anybody have a picture of the autometer 2 guage pod installed. The instrument cluster pod.
subieworx 07-14-2004 12:46 AM

Here are some pics of mine installed with only one gauge.

How'd you get your gauge pointers red?
subieworx 07-15-2004 08:07 AM

I have an 04. They come that way.
kinkinhood 07-15-2004 02:58 PM

Ah yes, so it is. I didn't notice the speedometer and tach switched.
obuerkle 08-15-2004 10:29 PM

Will these instrument cluster gauge pods fit a 2000 impreza? I haven't seen any for the year 2000, only ones for 02-04. Have there been any changes in the dash design that would make it not fit?
subiekid 08-15-2004 11:41 PM

[img]http://myweb.cableone.net/subiekid/IM001065.jpg[/img]

They dont make pods for my car. I had to use a cheap universal pod. Under the heat it melted. So I am not working on making my gauges fit near my shifter.
subieworx 08-16-2004 07:11 AM

They are different.

Tobey 08-16-2004 12:59 PM

the ATI pod rocks; it's got a great shape and size. i just bought the defi single gauge pod setup for my boost gauge (going on the a-pillar), it looks really nice for a single pod setup. it's made of a nice, flat black, textured plastic (also bought the optional visor). :)
obuerkle 08-16-2004 01:00 PM

Anyone have any idea where i can get one to fit my 2000 model?

I wonder how well this will match the factory dash color........ anyone know?

I have the OEM pod right now but I dont' think I like it, and am going to sell it if I find something better.

I wish they made this one but not in CF, but factory look instead:

[img]http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/images/carbonconceptCFgaugepod.jpg[/img]

it looks like its not as HUGE as the ATI and defi pods.... that would be perfect

is there anything like this out there?
iofdetiger 08-19-2004 01:44 PM

yes! thats what im looking for also!
RChampion 08-19-2004 02:14 PM

I just ordered the ATi factory paint matched one. I guess its not too much taller than the one picture above. Wish it didnt say ATI on the back of it though, oh well.

EJ205rulezall 08-19-2004 03:48 PM

Lotek = Low Tech
Just dont get lotek!!!!! I got a dual 60mm A pillar gauge pod from lotek b/c i thought the factory color match would look nice. The pillar came and I couldnt fit my 60mm gauges in by a long shot. I called them thinking maybe they sent me a pillar pod for smaller gauges. They swore up and down that they didnt and that the pillar probably just need some 'modification' like they listed somewhere on their site. 4 hours of cutting later the guages fit in, not a perfect fit or perfect look, but then again i'm not a master plastic cutter, i was hoping to leave that up to lotek seeing as how my pillar costes so #$%^ much.
Just my $0.02

Treat it as any other material to be painted. You must prep the surface by cleaning and sanding. Once prepped, paint it. It's very easy.
Bishop 09-01-2004 01:04 PM

tru. bah!
