gaugepods.com response

The a-pillar for the RX8 is considered a safety feature due to impact
protections in the car. We cannot make an a-pillar model due to
federal
regulations regarding modifying this feature.

The second picture of the air bag that's been deployed is mine, and I can assure you that the side pillars don't make any difference with the air bag being deployed.

I think, a lot more people would be interested if you could make a replica of the PTP gauge pod. I certainly would be interested! Here are a few pictures..

Got pics of the steering column pod? I have 2 gauges there right now, a real pod for that location would be great.

hey, pm me a rough estimate on what youd charge to make a 2 gauge pod on top of the steering column. i have an aftermarket wheel now and want to put any gauges in roughly one place and not clutter up the dash. please. hahah. i dont want to sound pushy.

how much would you charge for one? i may send my column down now. also, would the gauges be able to be swapped out for new ones or would they be perm molded in?
