Default Custom redesigned gauge pod ready to ship.

Recently I decided to try a new design with the pods to make mounting a little easier. The new design uses the stock A-pillar, so it snaps into place after the factory A-pillar is removed.

In order to make this new pod, I had to first buy a new oem A-pillar from Chrysler. I then attached and double gauge pod to the A-pillar and blended the two with bondo. Next I had a local shop professionally finish it.

I'm selling this pod for $195, or $165 if you send me your driver's side A-pillar.

That sounds like a good deal for anyone looking to add gauges in a nice custom pod.

That looks real nice.

As for a stock N/A, the only thing I could use it for would be a vacuum gauge, basically for looks. What other gauge would I need that is not already on the dash?

I know the SRT has several uses for it.

I'd install a wideband, as I always like to be sure I'm not running lean when the temp drops or too rich during summer and leaving power on the table.

Wide band is un-needed on the N/A.
But how bout, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Transmission Oil Temp, Differencial Temp Heck there is always a guage if you have the "Hole"

so a normally aspirated engine will never run lean? thats a very bold statement!

My thoughts exactly. From personal experience, a wideband is just as beneficial for a NA setup as one with FI. If you're tuned perfectly for summer temps, you will run leaner in the cold.

I wideband isn't really a necessary unless you want to run the fastest you can.

Sorry, I didn't mean that as harshly as it sounded. LOL

I just meant that if you really want to get the extra power out of a tune, you can't unless you know your air/fuel.

Not quite ready to buy (lack of funds), though am highly interested.

Are there plans to manufacture for the long term?
Or is this sweet deal going to be disappearing soon?

Very impressed btw.

I made three of this design, but only this one is finished and ready to sell. The others may never be finished, as it's just not worth the effort.
