Many thought only RX-7 guys gets all the goodies. Remeber back then Border Japan had a twin hood gauge pod for RX-7. It was very poplular item for RX-7 and today still is. With that idea why not for RX-8 guys too. So here is how they look on RX-8. These are 52 MM pods.

Looks great! If it were me it wouldn't be shiny... I can't stand the reflections on the windshield from shiny stuff on the dash.

looks pretty good. i think it would be even better if the gauges were faced toward the driver instead of being straight on.

that's my only complaint...turn them each in a couple degrees...facing straight on on the outside would make it hard for the driver to see the gauge correctly. sweet idea though

Not sure if 60 MM can fit into this one. I will get a hold of 60 MM and try. Cuz I was going to get STRI 60MM.

Can have it in matted carbon finish or matted flat black.

I like it. It would move my boost gauge off the a-pillar and let me add another gauge....
