Well lets see here. This G is our company car. It is a Black 2003 6-speed with an APS twin turbo kit with APS Tall-Boy Inlet Plenum. Currently dynoing in at 496 RWHP. This G was the actual car that APS used to fab their twin turbo kit. We shipped it to Austrailia and they shipped it back when fabrication and testing was done. There is a bunch of other little stuff done to it. I will try and clean it up and get some pics of it for you guys.

As for selling the pod, I do have a family member that is in the thermoforming business and I can ask him how much it would cost to make a plastic replacement piece that would look exactly like this one. I assume they could use the one I made to make a mold out of and then stamp them out in solid plastic. I would bet it would not be cheap though.

It faces straight forward. I thought about angling it slightly, but decided that this would be the cleanest "factory" look I would get.

This car is owned by GRD and yes Irshad is the primary driver, although we all get to have our fun with it.

That's actually pretty nice.
Good job man.
Very original. Don't think I've ever seen that done before.

So do you handle all the fabricating for GRD? Have you been there for a while?

Yes I do all their custom work (gauges, audio, video, security). Have worked on and off for GRD for over 4 years now.

here's another cool palce to put a gauge. I made this while watching a football game, last season. what is really cool is the gauge mounts from behind - just like a factory gauge.
