Where to get these Gauge Pods?

There are two gauge pods I am looking for. One I have a pic and is below. Ther other I dont. The one I dont have a pic of attaches to the outer part of the dash where the RPM gauge and all that good stuff is. IT reminds of where most people put there gauges who have Supras. Im hoping someone has a picture of that and can tell me where to get both of these. Also which company makes the best matching gauges to go with ours? Is it Defi?

is this the other gauge pod you are talking about?

if so this is made by Knight sports. price is fo rgauge pod only (sorry no defi gauges come with it ) too bad that i plan on puting 3 gauges on the a pillar.....this only works on the left side of the factory gauge cluster. I think i'll fab on to fi ton the right side when i have time and patience. :p

thanks army that is the other one I was talking about. I didnt know they didnt make it for the right side, think ill wait and just get the rmagic one.

What do you guys think of the Defi gauges that only show the display when you turn the car on?

Thanks for the help guys.

that pic you showed of the gauges on the a pillar...i talked to the guy who owns that car in japan...and it's not a pillar pod...he just mounted the gauges right to the stock plastic piece. Still looks sweet though

are you sure about that when I get home from work I'll post some pics of how to install it and it appears it is connected into a different A-pillar cover

remind me by PM if I forget to post them

too muchmoney for the mazdaspeed dash kit...it's only 750 worth of gauges..and the things cost between 1300-1500 not including install...waste of money. I think extreme deimensions is coming out with a gauge cluster for the dash but instead of facing streight ahead they are angled slightly to the left so the driver can see them easier (like the feed gauge cluster...but not for rhd)
