DIY: A Pillar 3 Gauge Pod

My first post - i had searched forever to find a 3 gauge pod and came up with nothing for the 8, other than the Carbon fiber one that was about $175 or something stupid. So i bought some 3m flex Molding (the same stuff they use for nascar) and set off to make my own using a universal 3 pod from Gloshift and my stock pillar. Here are some pics of the fab!

^^^I wouldn't want to be in the driver seat. you will end up wearing the gauges as contact lenses.
