Carbon fiber gauge pod
This is it, hope you like it.
Still waiting for the gauges to come from Japan though...
Also some cf interior pieces you may notice in the pics will be carefully installed at Sunday. If anyone's interested I can post some pics after installation.
To avoid comments like "cf's intention is saving weight, not adding" I should make clear it's just for looks and not for weight savings.
But anyway, every comment is welcomed!

Greetings

Glad you like it. In reality looks much better than those cell phone pics.
I am not using Defi gauges, I went with Blitz Black Light 60mm Meters which look great at night. But they will arrive at two weeks - I can't wait to install them!

Some Cf interior pieces...
Ok, here's some update of the interior.
Pics look quite bad, the result is really great in real life.




And a pic of the exterior:




I will post more pics when I install the pod.
Also some exterior minor mods plus exhaust are coming soon!

I have the same thing in my interior, except it's just silver metal or whatever, I got it used and it came with it in and it looks awesome.

Yeah, but it looks good and clean though. These pics suck.
I would prefer cf replacement pieces and not stickers, too, but no one makes some...

Update: Blitz Gauges
Gauges arrived from Japan, and they are beautiful.
I will install the pod soon, cannot wait to see how they look at night with their purplish black light!
I will post more pics when installation is complete.

No FI yet, still NA, but if everything goes right I will go FI next year. I wish I had the budget to turbocharge Renesis now but when you wait more for something it feels more important when you finally get it!

For those sending pm for info on the gauge pod, I must say a friend of mine got this great piece for me from a Japanese store, I do not really know more info, but it seems it may be a rare item because I have never seen it before.
