Spoolinmazda RX8 Gauge Pod
Well I have been working on a suitable gauge pod for the RX8 for a while. Unfortunately with the prices to prodce something in ABS plastic one is kinda of limited. So I looked around a bit and with the inspiration of an FD gauge I decided to make the following:
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a gauge pod like this.... Let me know your thouhts.

That is incredibly well designed. I am absolutely interested. Please start a GB 
Also: How readable are the gauges while driving? I'm looking at getting the same gauges.

the gauges are angled toward the driver... if there was enough interest I could possibly figure somehign out for rhd down the road. I fabricated the pod from scratch and the gauge install is like any other install not too bad.

This is way better looking (IMO) than the other pod and does nothing permanent to your car (no gluing, screwing, etc.) I am not a big fan of pod gauges usually but this looks very clean. I want.

Because mediocrity rules when there is only one option, honestly I think the Loki/Lotec looks like a melted POS, IMHO. This is much cleaner and harkens back to a simular and popular design for the 7...

The look, quality, and the loss of my center consule did not make the lotek a very appealing option. So I took the initiative and made this one.
Like Rotr8 said it is modeled after the very popular pod that was made for the 7. I was trying to keep the rotary heritage alive
