Correct if I'm wrong, but I don't think these are available... any of you big guys with hookups able to produce these? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif I think they would realyl clean up the look of our car for people trying to keep things looking factory. An alternative to the pillar gauge pods that give away our cars somtimes. Would definitely be interested in buying and I'm sure others would be as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

**edit** can't use photobucket at work..

I was thinking of making one of those for the longest time but never got around to it. Fiberglass and bondo was the materials of choice.

this setup i think would be really popular, no need to hack into anything and a single or dual pod would work well without looking out of place.

I don't think there would be enough interest to mass produce something like that. Not everybody wants a gauge in that spot, kinda blocks the view of your normal gauges.

a small autometer guage would hardly take from your line of sight any more than looking over your radio din mounted gauge or the a pillar. regardless... i'd buy one!

Having a single autometer gauge right on top of the steering column would def block the gas gauge and gas gauge light in a VR4.

now if if was a cool little dual pod setup like on the top edges of the column where it doesnt obstruct anything but is yet still visible, i'd be interested.

Gas gauge isn't one of those that needs to be checked very often, unless you like running on empty all the time.

I had my boost gauge and A/F in the steering column and had no problem seeing the stock gauges.

I would definitely be interested, I kinda need to replace the A pillar the thieves busted, and change up the gauges anyway.
