AE86 ac panel gauge pod

Postby daveskatesallday » Sun Jun 23, 2013 1:37 pm

Maybe this should be a no-brainer but i was trying to come up with something i can use to hold gauges in place where the ac panel goes, i had found this plastic around the house and cut out holes but couldn't get it to work or look as good as these, has anyone else done some that came out good? have any tips or materials you used?

trying to get something along the lines of these pics

Man Dave I just sold a carbon fiber HVAC delete cover that takes the place of the whole HVAC panel, console, ashtray, and lighter plug. I was going to poke holes in it for gauges but I went another route. I sold it for a lot less than I paid, too. :cry:

There is a dude in the classifieds selling a JDM CarBoy 5 gauge fiberglass panel that takes the place of the radio and shifter console. It's pretty slick and full-on racecar stuff.
