Mama Mia Amemiya

MAMA MIA MAMA MIA....i got my RE AMEMIYA gauge holder from coupe07 together with the Defi gauges...

A quick review.....

Quality is top notch. Smooth as ....no wavelines. The edges are all very nicely cut.

Fitting - requires a little cutting of the top of the dashboard(which is very normal) for the holder to fit in. All it needed was some adjustments/alignment before we screwed it in. The holder is a screw on unit that also requires a little help from the mounting tape. Mounting tape is actually NOT required as the screws did a very good job but being Mr Hiao...i had to put the tape to have a nice tight fit.

As you can see from the pics....the alighment is very good. Gauges slightly angled to face the driver. Pic quality is lousy as this was taken from my handphone. I will post clearer pics later.

wayne - yeah...it looks very OEM..the way i like it. looks like a top replacement.

lennon - it was released not long ago....coupe07 told me about it pretty soon after it was released. The FRP version actually came glossy finish...but we chose to spray it over till it looked like this. Matt finish.

there is actually no FRP version. We requested for it since the CF ones are not so well received, and boy does it look so damn good. I was impressed with everything, from the fitting to the finishing to........ i could go on n on...

anyway ultimately, bro ngkenny must like this pod, if not say til cow comes home oso no use.....

Lets standby for the knight sports pod to be fitted on genesis's car.....
