New fiberglass project.. EVO like gauge pod part 2

[quote]what size guages are you using?[/quote]
52mm

[quote]If only it was angled upwards and towards the driver.[/quote]
That would be pretty tricky to do.. the space for these gauges is pretty tight back there and to tilt them up would be tough because the back of them would hit the stereo in the din slot before them. To make the gauges fit as you see them you have to do a little bit of bending of the metal behind there and trim out some useless plastic

[quote]what did you use for that 90* angle ant the bottom?[/quote]
The plastic that I found had the 90* angle lip on it. I picked it up at Home Depot. It is the plastic piece used to secure glass block walls to the floor.

[QUOTE=brcewane]The only way that I could be able to do more of these is if people sent me their trim piece. I have no production means available to make sure all the factory clips in the back would fit.[/QUOTE]

hey b-dub,
you wouldn't be able to make a mold out of yours, then just tell people they may have to do a little shaving to set it in?
Just curious, cuz i think it's a great piece...better than a lot of the other stuff some people get away with selling out there.
Congrats on the sweet mod. :cool:

Nice handywork ... I am impressed with your skills

Very nice. Not sure if you know but Automeeter sells a little bezel angle pod/spacer. Hard to explain but they go between the gauge and the bezel so the gauge tilts towards the driver.

i love seeing different customized items, specially ones that are made well like this gauge cluster... i bet some people would think its a factory option, looks like it came with the car. very very good job.

Read the entire thread before you post. He has already explained why that wouldn't work several times.

If anyone is interested.. this is my next project that I am working on... [url]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=962510[/url]

I haven't had much time to get any more progress on them, I've been out of town and busy on weekends it seems like forever :(

I was thinking of doing something like that with 60mm Defi BF to 2005 STi, but looks like it won't fit...

[QUOTE=WRXSIG]holy **** hackjob batman!!! dude you should have waited for the gauges to come in....totally wrong way to do it. :eek: :lol:[/QUOTE]

Sorry if this is really old but damn that was funny!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.. Good stuff.

For those who are interested, I am now looking at manufacturing these for the 02-06 imprezza's... I am trying to target the $100-$130 range for the price.

I will keep you posted, or if you are interested send me a PM and I'll keep you on my list of people to update.
