Default Custom Gauge Pod for Console...

I have seen some of these in some pics before, but I couldnt find them this time around...

I was wanting a few pics of some custom gauge pods that some of you have put together over the slot in our console just under the A/C controls.

I still want to use my power outlet but I need to put my Standalone Air/Fuel guage there where the slot is. I already have a triple pod filled up! This seems to be the next best place to put another gauge...

Hopefully Im making sense of where Im talking about...Also what are you guys using as material to make these custom guage holders...

I appreciate any help!

Here's mine: Dynotune digital gauge, lc-1 LED and calibration button, along with a manual fan switch and push button starter.

That's a slick setup jmm... you make it yourself? I don't have access to any ABS stuff so it's pretty much impossible for me to fab stuff up like that

EVERYONE has access to ABS plastic. It's called McMaster-Carr , they have every type of material you could ever want.

I meant access such as going down to a store, eyeballing things, and picking out pieces I need. I know you can order online, but I'm more of a visual person that likes to see exactly what I'm buying to make sure it's what I want/need.

Thanks!...yep, made it myself. I actually bought that plastic from Lowe's.....it's actually plastic flashing that you'd find on the roof of your house . It only cost me $3, and it gave me enough plastic to make 2 or 3 of these panels in case I screwed up. It actually matches quite well....the bright camera flash makes it look a little off, but to the naked eye in normal light it matches the factory plastic perfectly.
