My custom gauge pillar

I have had this made for a while now, but recently it took a trip to suite-e-grafx for a makeover. Utilizing the same technique on bigbadblacktrack's 350z, only in black carbon fiber. (Can you tell its painted on?). And no, I won't make one for you, it was tough.

Re: My custom gauge pillar

Next i'm doing the entire titanium center console after I get my system installed (jdm double din) as well as some parts of the door, etc. I also have the top secret front bumper painted, etc but didn't want to steal Tig488's fire..

Very nice. Working on one myself but in fiberglass. Wonder if CF is much more difficult to work with.

Re: My custom gauge pillar

Well, mine is made from fiberglass as well. I said that it was PAINTED carbon fiber.

I think black dials would look even better.

Re: My custom gauge pillar

The reason for me getting these gauges is because they're the only ones that light up amber. They look killer at night.

Re: My custom gauge pillar

that looks great narkotic, but you stole my fire already!, those are my gauges, damn you, JK!! i ordered those exact gauges a few weeks ago from gruppe-s, but they had to special order them, i got the silver ones that are sold out everywhere, great job tho, oh yeah and where the hell are all these bumpers coming from? i hear there are only 1 or 2, then all of a sudden there are 20 out there! mine is being painted right now, it goes on monday,

ps.. all you suckers that live in cali near all the importers and warehouses suck, try living here in alabama where you cant get anything. jk

Re: My custom gauge pillar

I've had the gauges for a while. Got them from guru on my350z... great guy. I got the bodykit from bulletproof of course, they have quite a few bumpers actually. I was sponsored by top secret so I got the side skirts and the front bumper. The sides should be in at the end of this month. That front bumper won't look right w/out the sideskirts man, it hangs low.
