PM me for price and to let me know if you want a 52mm or 60mm.
I don't know what kind of "style" the final product will look like (i.e. FEED or Mazdaspeed or RE) but it will look nice!
I should have the first prototype in my paws pretty soon. I will post pics.
Thanks all!!

Just to keep everyone posted, this is still going on. The guy is making his prorotype look basically production ready. He tried one pod design but didn't really liked it, so he had to scrap it and start all over! I shall have the prototype soon.
Everyone who's PMed me is on the list! We have over 20 so this is deff a go!
Be sure to PM me if interested if you haven't done so already.

I sent a message to the main moderator about a group buy but have failed to hear back yet. We might do a group buy if it gets approved, but so far people are just PMing me and I'm adding them to a list.
And to everyone, thank you for your patience, he is taking a little longer tan anticipated. But you have to remember this is a custom piece, fabricated from hand (the prorotype at least, not sure how he is going to manufacture all the other ones) and he's starting from scratch.
Thanks everyone.

i'd be interested for the navi version, 52mm (has to fit greddy and aem gauges).
I would first have to see at least a rough sketch of how the unit would look, before I commit though.

He's still working on a Nav version, I have no idea what the progress is with that as of now. His original idea is to hide some "stealth" gauges under the lid so when it opens you see gauges. It would have to be 52mm and only two gauges, from what I gathered from him.
He is taking pics today or tommorow of the prototype which I will promptly post once emailed to me. He is then packing it up and sending me the prototype for test-fitting, and I will take some of my own pictures of the proto installed.
Obviously, you won't have to commit to anything until you see plently of pictures of the actual product and it installed on an RX-8 as well. And even then you can still back out if you don't want it. I just need interest so he can justify making the molds for it (over $250 his cost before he makes a dime). And we only needed 20 people which I am very happy to so I have well over 20 members on the list.

Okay I have great news everyone. It is 100% official, they are being made, and price is lower than anticipated! I will have the prototype pod in a week or so and I will post pics. He tried emailing me pics but my stupid spam filter corrupted them! I will have pics soon, I promise!
I will be sending a PM to everyone soon detailing on how to pay.
The first batch will mount 3 52mm gauges and is compadible with the standard and Bose version. If there is enough interest in a 60mm he'll make it, but as of now it is on hold.
And he is offering a color-matched version (to match your exteroir or interoir) in multiple colors, so you can have a blue or red pod! And it isn't much extra for the color match.
Thanks for all your patience and greatly appreciate it! I am so happy we finally have a nice gauge pod!

Sorry, guys, I'm working on pics, I want to see them as bad as you do! And I am not kidding about this, unless this guy is full of ****, it's for real.
I told the guy what colors the interoir comes in and all the popular exteror colors too, but I don't know which ones he's going to match to. I assume red, blue, black (standard color for no charge), maybe yellow, hopefully he does the Nordic green, and I'm also hoping for the titanium grey color-match as well.
I should have the prototype mailed to me sometime mid next-week, so figure a few days for shipping (He's somewhere in Cali), I should have it sometime next weekend or next mid-week. I will put some pics up fast, rest-assured!
Everyone just has to be patient for a week or so. I will try to get him to send me some pics again, and hopefuly Gmail doesn't corrupt them!

im locking this whole thread down until chicken wafer actually talks to omicron about setting a group buy up. its one thing to talk about the possibility of getting something made- its another thing entirely to actually actively recruit for a group buy.
