As a group, we have to come to an agreement as to what size we want. Personally I would like 60mm but we will just have to see. They will paint it to match the interior if we send them color samples. I have the Blond Cloth so I can send a sample in for that color.

 

I am sending in a color sample for the blond interior so they will be able to match that for you!

 

I'd be in also. I'm just wondering the same things as Alex. Thanks.


I'm also sorry to hear about your loss.

 

2-1/16" or 2-5/8" = 60mm?

 

2-1/16" = 53mm

2-5/8" = 67mm

Is there a way to have larger holes made, with adapters to fit them to smaller sizes?

 

I just emailed him to ask about the different sizes.

 

Thanks. I didn't have a ruler handy.

What guages are 60mm then? Apexi?

Autometers' electrical/mechanical guages from Summit are typically 2-1/6" or 2-5/8".

 

Apexi, Blitz, HKS all carry gauges in the 60 mm. I am open if you guys want the 2 and 1/16 or the 2 and 5/8.

 

What color are these units going to come in? I have the grey pillars.

 

count me in i want eithr the 2 or the 3 ...i have the tan pillar....hope we get this

 

He will paint them to match up to three colors. So far the Blond one and the Frost ones are in. I have the tan and someone else will need to send in a sample of the frost for them to match. The grey could be the third color if someone will send in a sample piece.

 

my color would have to frost. I a dual pod pillar.

 

Engrish?

2 1/16" (52mm) is standard. If the pillar is wide enough then 60mm will work also.

 

Sounds great. Did you want a list of what each one of us wants? ex color, and number of pods?
I'd like Frost, and 3 pods.

 

Im in for a triple pod!!

 

Lets get the show on the road. I'll be on vacation starting Saturday and I won't be back till the following weekend. I'll check the board though, so it's not that big a deal.

I vote 3-pod with 2-1/16" size, unless you guys recommend the 2-5/8" size.

 

I am with you on the 2 and 1/16 size. I am in contact with him now to see what needs to happen to get this going. I also will ask him if it is still possible to get the option of a 2 OR 3 pod.

 

count me in too!!! My interior is frost so the pillar color is gray I beleive!!!

 

Any updates?

 

Not yet, still waiting on email from gaugepods.com.

 

Any idea on how payments are going to be handled?

I'll be heading out of town tomorrow, Saturday, so I may not be able to check my email too often. Most likely, I'll be back online on Friday.

Do NOT forget to include me if you don't hear back right away.

 

I'm not quite sure yet on that either but if he needs it when you are out of town I'll cover for ya.

 

Wow, thanks!

I doubt they'll be made that fast, but he might want the money up front. I'm pretty sure they have computers in California , so most likely I'll be online to keep the ball rolling.

Thanks for the offer though.

 

So let me make this clear, this DOES NOT come with the gauges correct? Just for morons like me who think they do.

Im in. Put me down. Make the list 30, it will happen regardless.

Dixit

 

It does NOT come with gauges.

 

so we have 20 people right. Is this happening. My car is a gray lustre so what color would mine be.

 

Yeah this is going to happen. What color are your a pillars??

 

i dont understand whats so special about this deal if its 40 to 60 bucks....i saw dual pods for the max at nopi for like 25 bucks..what am i missing here??

 

These are for the 5th gen max and are a complete replacement pillar.

 

Looks lite gray.

 

That is frost I believe.

 

Im still a little unsure about the color of mine. I have the black cloth interior but the A pillars are a lighter color. They look tan under certaun light. Does anyone else have this interior?

 

I would like to buy in if it is still open. I would like a dual 2 1/16 pod.

 

I should have the details for everyone tom.

 

First, start by sending in an "a-pillar" so we can evaluate and do a mock-up. Here is a listing of procedures:

I would like to see if the 60mm gauges will work, and the only way to find out is to send them a pillar. Also it seems that we would need 20 for the 2 gauge pod and 20 for the 3 gauge pod, maybe we can get a enough people for both but most likely a desicion will have to be made b/w the two. Do we have a 5th gen pillar that someone can send them?

 

I hope you realize the pilars cost $80 from the dealer. I have a pillar that is scuffed up from my current gauge pod. Perhaps we could work it out to turn in my pillar if they can use it.

 

Yeah I know they are kinda expensive from the dealer. If anyone would be willing to use theirs or has an old one laying around let me know. Otherwise, I may just buy a new pillar and send it in.

 

Maybe if you call david burnette and ask him for a deal since he already hopes org. members I am sure he could give you a deal.
