'05 To 07' Folks

Came across this posting on FJ, a gentleman has designed/created a center mounted guage pod/holder, that replaces the center-vents on the 05-07 models.

Neat idea, hopefully he goes through with production cause I'd definately grab one!

center mounted guages.

remove the trim peice and send it to me, also need a guauge to measure the openings...I've found that not all guauges are exact. My automater guages are 52mm, but my ignite guages were more like 52.5mm....

Don't have any guages right now, I was planning on going with an autometer set, as soon as I get some more time I'll send you the piece and we'll exchange the 411.

if you're going with an automater set, I am ok since I have a spare autometer guage anyways. i just need that plastic peice and need to know how many guages you want.

How much is this guy charging anyways? For somethig like this (4 pods), I would charge $200.

He hasn't responded, he's posted up on both of the US focus sites, has gotten a lot of reaction/feedback, but has yet to post any sort of price, or even if they are going into production of these.

4 pods might be too much for me, 2 would be optimal.
