Custom Gauge Pod. My 1st fglass work!!!

A buddy and myself made this back in December and I just finally got around to taking pictures. It was the 1st time we have ever worked with fiberglass but I think it turned out good. I need something to go on it maybe an Infiniti emblem or something. Let me know what you think.

the workmanship is good, but the style doesn't look right, imo. Maybe if it was lower it would look better. Its pretty high, which makes it look out of place.

Thanks for the input. I chose the location because it worked best for me. I don't like the pods that go on top of the dash because they look out of place imo. I liked 2fast2bfurious pod but that was on an 03-04 model and it just flowed well being molded into the clock. I have an 05 so I did'nt have that option. Do you think it would look better with a little more noise on the front part below the gauges?

+1, even the color match looks good . However like Yume say it sits to high, and that's why is looks a bit funny.

IMO, the Mt. Fiji Logo will not much to take up that space. However I think putting your Turbo Timer, Boost Controller and/or map selector might do the trick.

I might try this, can you please PM with the built details, Thanks.

i think the higher gauges are smarter - its closer to the road/eye level. but yes i guess everyone doesnt like all the open space under them. maybe a badge or something to take up the space.

Looks good man, but like you said maybe a emblem to fill that space would be good cause it would make it look better.
