because the RB pod is contoured to the ash tray and the gauges lip and face is not,,, mine is the same way. I assume your asking becuase you dont like thel ook of the white sidewall of the gauge. I wrapped electrical tape around the white area, you can also paint it black but that would be a PITA...

nope they're all like that,,, when you install it youll be suprised how little of that area you see, it tucks in nicely heres a old shot of mine,,,



And heres the defrost gauge pod this will be a PITA ,,,, you have to drill though both AC and defrost venturis to get it behind you dash and down the firewall,,, it will be a bitch take your time and go slow....





you can see the white area in this pic on the RB gauges but that because I thook them out to install the AFE SS at the time,,, it now has the black tape on it...

who makes that gauge cluster hood cover?

i got one from DG Motorsports, but it doesn't seem to fit right. the front doesn't go all the way to the edge. kinda annoying.
