New gauge pod design
 
We just finished molding and painting this for Jayme's Laser. He's got the red gauge nipples to make it look nice and stock with the rest of the factory gauges. Very sleeper-ish. :D

You should have added another guage in the middle, or made slits for a vent or something, Looks odd with nothing in the middle.

Nice job though! Isnt the paint a little glossy though compared to the stock color? Or did you paint everything? Why didnt you just go with a vent guage panel like SLS sells?

There wasn't another gauge he wanted at that point, so we decided two would be sufficient. In order to make it look right, we had to blend the mold into the original bezel, making us have to paint the whole thing. And yes, the paint is a little bit glossier than stock.. we started with a flat black, but it was just TOO flat, so took it a step up. :)

Oh, and total cost: $7

What's up with the boost gauge?

What ever was wrong with his car too?
