it comes with the extra 2 cylinders

just playing. i think its just the general idea that with these cars, you are going to be paying out of your *** if you cant figure out how to do the installs yourself, and a lot of the times, with things like gauge pods, you can figure it out as you go, its pretty self explanatory. so the other modifications arent realistic if you HONESTLY have no idea what to do with a gauge pod.


but yeah, which pod did you get? post pictures!

The pod is easy.

Here's what you do....

Take the trim that the pod will mount to and take it off, it pulls off.

Next take the guage pod and put it over the one you just took off.

Drill hols in the pod and thru the original one so the plastic snaps hold both together. Make sure the drill bit isnt too large or the snaps wont work.You should have like 6 or so of the plastic snaps, so only drill holes for as many plastic snaps you have.

Next install the guages and run the wiring thru the guage pod.

Snap all of theose little plastic snaps into the holes you drilled.

Next put both pillars( leave them connected) back into the car.
