Interested!

intreasted, but if you could do it with no center speaker (dont have bose), and for a reasonable cost

I am very interested. May end up putting in a car-puter this spring/summer. If I do, then I obviously couldn't do this. But if not, I will put these in.

I'm interested depending on price.

i am interested if the price is right

Definitely interested. I need a gauge pod and I can't stand the lotek.

Do you have a pic standing form the doorway, so we can get a bigger picture of what the whole setup looks like? From those angles it looks way too "flashy" for me. Just a pic from the door looking in...

Interested.. I wonder if a CF trim is an option? ;)

Interested, looks very cool

+1...

I just had this done... it is a pain in the ass!!!! For a good price guys pick one up!

I can't say if I'll be interested or not unless I get some idea of pricing. Ballpark figures is all I'm asking for.

Yes it can be done without the center speaker

I will get some pics up later today

Unfortunately carbon fiber not be an option

I understand a lot of you want to know what the price is, but unfortunately I cannot post a price here at this point because this is not official yet. I guess what I can tell you is the parts alone for each pod to be made will cost somewhere around $200 (a little more or less). If you guys know how much the OEM center dash console cost then you will know what I mean. This is just to give you a little idea. Of course there is a little more to it considering the labor that needs to be done.

But for now I just want to know if there will be enough interest for this piece to go into production.

add me to the list i am interested

i'd be in

how is the glare in the daytime? i'd love this pod, but wonder how bright the sun reflects... also, i have 2 center dash pieces and a lotec pod. if you put this into production, let me know and i'll send them your way for a slight discount.

im in, and if you discount if we send ours to you im def in.
and can we get unpainted i want to do flat black or faux leather....i HATE glare of any amount :)

I will take one too

Glare is not NEARLY as bad as I thought... I actually don't even notice it and I am anal.

Although there are some glare, but it is not really noticeable and will not bother your eyes. I have had this on my car for 1 1/2 years now and I never had a problem with the glare.

Yes once this goes into production, I will be happy to offer discount if you send me the two pieces.

Yes unpainted will be an option! And price for unpainted will be less.

I was worried at first too, but I am glad I painted it jet black because it looks so sexy that I didn't even notice the glare at all. And plus there isn't really much glare anyways....

here are the updated pics below: Pics moved to the first page!

Yours looks better than mine!

I still have the humps on mine. I would have bought it if it had been available a month ago.

looks good. When will you have a price?

This is the list so far and feel free to add yourself to the list, so I can get an idea.

I am currently working on this and I will announce more details about that in a week.

After some plannings, I am ready to put this gauge pod into production!! Before this, there is a little update which I would like to announce. I will be providing two additional options for you to save some money on this pod!

The two options are optional:

1. This option will help you save money because I will not have to provide an oem center dash console to complete the gauge pod modification. Instead, you will send in your oem center dash console to me, so work can be done on it, then it will be sent back to you. The estimated turnaround time will be 12 days from the day I received it. You are responsible for the first shipping cost, but I will take care of the second shipping cost which is shipping the final product back to you.

*Note: For the first option You will not have to obtain the Lotek gauge pod because that will be taken care of by me to complete the final product! The cost of the final product will include the Lotek gauge pod (which will be used for the custom gauge pod) and painted jet black (unless otherwise notified for it not to be painted).

2. If the first option does not work for you, the second option for you to save money is to send in your oem center dash console to me after you receive the final product. Once I receive the oem center dash console, I will then reimburse you with a discount!

*Note: For the second option I will be providing the Lotek gauge pod and the oem center console. The cost of the final product will include the Lotek gauge pod (which will be used for the custom gauge pod), the oem center dash console , and painted jet black (unless otherwise notified for it not to be painted).

The price will be posted as soon as I get this group buy running which will most likely be sometimes next week!

Thank you!

*** This information will be updated in the first post of this thread!!

looks very nice..option #2 sounds better to me..what's your gauge setup?

im broke from buying rims lol but this is something id definitally like to do in the future. to everyone on the fence ive seen his guage pod personally and it looks amazing!

^ thanks Juan!

those are prosport gauges

I'm interested I want one but can you do it in velocity red instead of piano black.

I'm totally interested, looks much nicer than the regular Lotek on the OEM one.

opt #2 is a better way to go, count me in...

unfortunately I will not be offering it with custom colors... I will be offering it unpainted (primer) with a lower price if you are interested in bringing it to a shop to get it painted the color you desire.

when will prices be up?

Prices will most likely be up sometimes next week after I get everything set up

Would racing beat gauges fit the lotek pod by any chance? I think they look better

yes they will fit

I am 100% interested, but here is another option I hope you will consider; I already have the lotek installed (held together with black silicon calk) so is there an option to just send you that? My main problem is I'm in Iraq and won’t be able to send you anything till I get back home and settled in Az so talking around late May time frame. But I am 100% certain that I want this done.

Yes I can definitely do that! I should add this to the options too for the people who already have the lotek pod

First page updated with an addition option!

Woo hoo!! I'm a happy panda!

that's great...

I want to see those price options :)
hurry up :)
I want to get this done.

I am on it and I apologize for taking so long... trying my best to get everything organized first. :)
