gaugepods.com, for those of you with the blue/black interior in your car's did you buy the black an have it painted or is the dark blue they offer the correct one to match???? thank you.
 
you can get blue paint that does match exactly, so if you don't mind painting yourself you could do that also ...
 
I've got a grey gauge pod of theirs in my Bird and know several friends that have their gauge pods in various cars and colors, and they're all pretty much accurate with matching.
 
There is like 4 different shades of grey in my car anyways; the seats are a different shade than the dash, the center console is a different color than the dash, etc. I don't think it would matter unless it was really off.
 
I got the dark blue pod for my car, couldn't tell the difference int he color. But the texture on the other hand is bumpy and not smooth like the original. Not really a problem just kind of a pet peev.
 
Well I didn't really wanna make a new thread on this since i'd be dealing with the same pod, but would 2 1/16" gauges fit in there without any modification since thats what most of them are and the pod says they're just 2"
sorry if its a dumb question...just don't have any experience with gauges, but figured its something safe to invest in.

pretty sure the dark blue matches and I do believe the tan is a great match also

im still on page one :D:D

yes the 2 1/16" gauges fit just fine. if its a little tight you can just sand the opening gently until it fits, it should be snug though so it doesnt fall out while driving.

  • 1) page lengths are set on a per person basis.. your page 9 may be my page 2, still.
  • b) it doesn't matter; clicking the little arrow next to a post takes you to the newest post/reply in a thread that you haven't read. (again, on a per person basis. even though a thread isn't bold for YOU, it IS for those who haven't read it, etc)
  • 4) there is no number three.
