Default Console gauge pod

I came up with this about a year ago but the first time I made it I used some plastic...Here are pics of the "draft"... I used these to angle the gauges towards me





Now I steped it up abit and made this. I will put the angle rings on the two in front of the shifter.. I had my n2o gauge in the ashtray so it was hidden and out of the way. And put the A/F Gauge in the bezel in front of the shifter.

Here are a few shots of the "upgrade"

Thanks fellas, I may be in making somemore if the interest in them is high... The only bad thing is that you will have to cut your console for the gauges to fit.
