Honestly throwing up a couple posts was my way of throwing a line in the water to see if I get any bites! I have intentions to possibly become a vendor on here depending on if I got any positive feedback or not!

Oh and i'm sure I could do an 05! It would just require me buying a pillar for an 05 from Subaru... I use OEM pillars and mount the pod onto that!

There are a million options for the 05... eBay it. Pods a plenty.... I have an 02 w/ a pillar, clock, bezel and vent pods...

05 is about as option friendly. Newer models, not as much... yet.

I know there are millions of options, but frankly, I'm yet to find one for a good price. I only want a single pillar pod for a boost gauge which is pretty hard to come across. Ones I've found are cheap and poorly made. Yet unfortunately, I don't see myself spending over $100 for a custom single pillar pod.

Yeah I was thinking that the 05 a-pillar pod would have been a mainstream part... He kinda threw me off for a second there lol. I have already received a couple PM's from members on this site so I E-mailed the forum about becoming a vendor

Honestly I wish I could make them for cheaper ... but the hours I spend making these things by hand is kind of insane. I am working with a good friend of mine now so it helps to have him on the weekends but even still the amount of hours I spend laying glaze, sanding, painting, etc gets pretty strenuous. The only reason I still make them is because people keep wanting them! Lol

Oh I know...I'm not trying to say your pricing is outrageous by any means. It certainly looks like a good quality, hand made piece. I can definitely appreciate the amount of work you put into it. If I had a little more free flowing cash, I'd be all over requesting a single pod. Good move on the vendorship!

I hope it keeps working out for you!

Thanks!!! Got an email back from a mod now to just weigh my options!

I would be interested in right hand pillar, single gauge pod, if the height and angle could be a perfect match to an Autometer standard whole double pillar cover... The casing would have to clear the vent at the same height. I need a unique and practical place for an AEM Uego. I need it on the right side so that the cable can be used on the passenger side with the laptop. I am teetering on a turbo upgrade, and really want to make sure the ECU is as well ready as the rest of the car.

The pod is really a hold up for me, since I know it is about a week of work, letting things set up and dry... I did one in my Sebring about 5 years ago, and people went nuts wanting me to make them.

If you are down to do an RHD single for a bugeye on it's way up, let me know!

btw, shameless photo of said bugeye in dirty shape...

Shot of the dash available if you like...
Any thoughts on replicating Perrin's column pod? I'd love to tinker with that one weekend... pair of 60mm bezeled to 52mm... schweetness. I'll see what PVC I have around.
