FI'd or not its always good to have gauges that are gauges. Not ones that are ID10T lights..

They look good, and I always wondered if the amber prosport gauges matched the OEM red..

Just wanted to show everyone the custom gauge pod I made for my friends 06 Tiburon. Before making it I searched high and low.....seems noone makes a pod for an 06 - 07 Tiburon. I followed the same steps used to make my pod only I made a mold first.....those prosport gauge hoods come in handy. After I made the mold I just poured fiberglass resin over the original piece and let it dry. Once I seperated them I added several coats of fiberglass and bits of cloth for strength. From there I cut the holes and added a little bondo. It is not perfect but after all the sanding and painting was done I was suprised how well it looked. There are a few changes I'd make if I ever made another one but overall I'm happy with it.....enjoy the pics.


Not bad for my 4th time using fiberglass.......

Interesting location on the Tib pods.

Reason I did not want to recess my Sirius unit inside the ashtray was finger reach. While my hand is on the shift **** I can quickly change presets.

I'm still working on a mold for the astray pod. In the meantime I have repainted it to match my ride. Removing the old paint was a PITA but it came out good....enjoy.

Looks sexy dude or you could have got two PLX Gauges which give you all your info instead of having 5 gauges....
