I have seen a lot of threads about making custom gauge pillars for G35s. Since the selection of these out there are pretty terrible as far as universal ones, I decided to finally go the route of customizing my own 3 port pillar.

I elimated the ash tray but still kept the hazards hooked up. I am able to mount 3 52mm gauges. The attached pic shows the dash piece back in my car but is only primered black. I plan on painting/wrapping it soon.

Let me know what you think.

That'll look really nice once you wrap it man! Good job on the custom fab. If you could sink them in a little farther it might have looked less bubbley but im assuming they needed the room behind the trim piece. You definatley should post pics when you are done! Good work sir

That's really clever! Looks great. You could probably market that and make a few bucks off of it... just saying.

Would like to see it after gauges are mounted.

Are there any center gauge pods for the non navi coupes?

Thanks everyone. As soon as I get it finished and gauges installed I will post pics.

If anyone is interested PM me. We can discuss price. It is a process but I think it looks great. After completing this one, I am failry confident I can design them however you yould like. Since the options for our cars are very limited with gauge pods, this is the way to go!

Having had gauges in every car I've ever owned I would rather have them at eye level so I can watch them while driving...without looking down!

To each his own, but I am into a more clean, uncluttered look. Once I am done, this will almost look factory. Everything else I have seen out there (universal pods), do not look good on our cars in my opinion.
