Does an s13 triple guage pod for the center A/C vent exists
or
will I to custom fabricate one?

If I have to fabricate one, how do I make one?
How do I cut the face of the pod to look so clean?

I got one on mine, but it fits only two 60mm gauges. Might be able to put one more in but could be a little bit messy (52mm or small should fit 3 perfectly.) I used a clear plastic piece, probably 3mm thick. Cut it into a shape of the original air vent (or close to it.) Cut two circular holes (3 in your case.) Drill tiny holes on the two sides (or all sides) of this new face plate. Use two (or 4) "L" shape legs and nail them both to the inner wall of the airvent and to the faceplate (those holes from previous step.) I think you can use double sided tape as well. Not hard to do, but to make it look nice and clean is another story. I think i'll redo mine when i have time.

Hey man what's up. My friend actually makes a pod to fit perfectly in your dash. He is selling them for $150.00 US plus shipping and sending him your vent as it will not be needed anymore. It will hold three 2 1/16 gauges. He is also working on a 60mm pod too.

Check the post in the For Sale thread or check it out at my car domain on page 4. You won't be dissapointed. It looks sick!

Have a good one.

Easy :cool:

Ya I know, stupid me! I had a brian fu_k. I thought the date said 05/27/2004 but after I replied I noticed it said 01/27/2004. DHO!!!

Anyway, as for the pillar idea, it's been done and my buddy likes to do things that are different and that look clean. There is nothing wrong though with using the pillar. This just let's you, and your ride, look different.

Well have a good one man.

Easy :cool:
