Ok I emailed a lo-tek a company that makes pillar pods for are cars and he was not very informative but if i can get enough people that want to get these then i can get us a group buy. so anybody who wants these let me know so i can get back to this guy and give a price. the more people the cheaper.

I'm down for one, depending on the price.

Me too. Depends on price.

Let me hear some prices...

Nope, they're only right at $50 shipped (normally) if you don't get one color matched.

Yeah man, if you can get em cheaper than $50 color matched for my svt, than I'm in for sure.

These are just the pods, though, so we'd have to buy the gauges separatley, right? I'd be in for a color matched to mid-nght-blue. . .

does anybody know where we could get gauges from? And what kind of gauges are useful for a NA 2.5L csvt (I'm planning on engine swapping down the line).. . I'm going to stay NA since it fits my budget for now. . .so I know I don't need a boost gauge. . .

I'm in as long as the price is right.

Yup, just the pod, but www.summitracing.com has just about the best prices around if you want white gauges to match your white-faced instrument cluster. The pod fits any
2 1/6 " gauges. The most popular are probably the Phantom series from Autometer. That's what I got. Voltmeter, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp are your best bet for a NA 'Tour. I got the previous two, and got the Transmission Temp gauge because the Oil Temp was on back order for a few weeks...I couldn't wait ANOTHER few weeks

Rob

Ok I E-Mailed the company and i am still waiting on the response. if you guys can try to get more people in on this because as i understand from the last email this fool sent me he wants about 20 people in on this but like i said before he was very informative so hopefully this email will be a lot better. but remember the more you guys get in this the more of a discount we get. i am going to post something in a couple of the rooms so hopefully this forum will explode with people intrested.

I'm down if it's color matched (midnight blue)......and depending on the price

I'm also down, if it's midnight blue, and the price is right...

Cooper

I'm down but can I get the indiglo Gauges for them???

I hear the blue doesn't really match the "midnight blue" of our interior. Best bet is to buy some Ford interior paint and DIY, if you want a real match.

I want one, but can't buy right now.

Yea I just put my tan one in my car, very nice pods, fit perfect. The color was off a little bit, a tad lighter, but i dought anyone would notice unless they where looking for it.

well i am still waiting on my response from the company but about the indiglo i would ask stolontour cause that is what he is looking for also and i am as well but i think he has some info on it. if any body wants to head a group buy on those then great just do it though autometer because they have the best gauges. i think i am going to go with 1.air/fuel ratio 2.oil pressure 3.volts. those are probably the best three to go with if you ask me

Who, what??? Me??? Indiglo... Huh?? Yeah, I've found some indiglo's through autometer, but they seem to glow green... YUCK...Umm, yeah. MUST HAVE BLUE so the search is still on

So I heard as well. I painted mine myself, and I also sanded it to make it a little smoother (it has some bumps on it giving it a textured look).

Have you tried to hook them up on the extra plugs that come with your indiglo guages. I was goofing around with the Ford Emblem on my deck lid (Yes it's Indiglo one color) and it actually switched colors and wasnt meant to. Hell it's worth a shot, but I tke no responsibility for your actions.

well i talked to the company and they said $5 if we have 25 people but i am still talking with them and hopefully we can work something out

im in for midnight blue

Hmmm, interesting... Wonder though if that won't cause any problems down the road. I do however, have some information on how one could make their own indiglo faces for any gauge they have. Let me check and see if that link still works before I get myself in too deep here...

color does not match perfectly from LoTek. go here for pic. Your on your own for 2 1/16 guages; I used Autometer Phantoms.

Mark

I am in! Are they only $5 or is that the discount?

ok i got everything sorted out and we get $10 off if i have them all shiped to my address so it will be actually up to you guys if you want to do that. it will be little discount for some of you and bigger for others. if you want you can come to my house and get it or i can mail it to you. just let me know if you would rather have $5 off and have them [censored] it to you or have $10 and have them ship them to me. but we all have to do the same thing and i have to have at least 15 orders. so everybody tell me what you want and which ever we have the most of that is what we will do

I want one, unpainted/black. can be sent to you, I'll get it from ya. Must have larger discount...

same here

I want one in gray. I'll also pick it up from you.

ok guys i figured out that it is going to be like cheaper for me to send it to you and you get the $10 discount then it would be for them to send it to you and only get $5 so i think it probably going to be best if we do it so there all sent to me. and dont worry you will all get it i promise. if you dont belive me you can ask stolontour97 and luckytour95 they live like 100 miles away and they can beat me up if i dont. but i am going to place the order on the 18th of this month so that every body will get paid at least one more time before i order then and you wont miss out on the groupbuy. if i dont have your money by the 18th then you dont get it and i will send your money back to you. so have your checks here by the 18th so we can get this going on. also please PM me as to if your doing it or not and what color you want. the colors i get are black $39, tan $44, dark blue $44, denim blue $44, and medium gray $44 (the extra $4 is for priority shipping from me to you) if you have any questions then PM me. I will also be setting up a paypal account so you can do it that way. i will get back to you when i get it set up.


(AKA - 1996contourSE) I just changed my name.

After seeing the pictures, I think I'll do a pillar pod in black, and having them shipped to you is fine. You can USPS it to me ground for cheap, I'll pay the difference, since I'm in Houston and it's a bit of a hike up there!

any discount is better than none, at least it'll offset the price for shipping that I'll have to pay anyways. . .so what will the final price be???

Suneil

for black it will be $39


(AKA - 1996contourSE) i just changed my name

Sounds like a stupid question, but how do we install these things? Not the pillar pods, which I'm assuming are straight forwards, but the gauges that hook up to measure the temperature, volts, etc. Is it going to get pricey to have a shop do them??

$39 sounds awesome!

Suneil

Sign me up for a black one.

You mean $50 right?

I'm in...

i will actually need two. one for me in black and one for a trade across seas.

ttt

if anyone finde any gauges for the pod that match the indiglo gauges pleses let me know.
I have a pod, and I'm trying to find indiglo gauges.
The autometer indiglo ones are green which i don't really like.
Someone on the forum has an APC gauge (i think AF gauge) mounted in the dash and its blue indiglo and matched perfect, but i don't really like APC stuff.

If i can't find anything i guess i'm gonna go with the autometer ultra-lite series, and just hope it looks decent.

Ok nobody has sent me any money remember the dead line is the 18th and i have to have at least 15 people. if the 18th is a problem for more then half of you then i can push it back a little but i would rather not. my paypal email addy is major1040@yahoo.com

well... you just now gave people a place to be able to send you money...

...and I didn't know about any deadline...

I don't have paypal anymore 'cuz I got nervous...
Got an address or something I can send a check to or maybe they take credit cards from us???

i was looking in spmotorsports.com and they had them for sale mail order i forget the price they were.

So are we going to get these ever or are we getting our money back?, because it looks like spmotorsports.com sells them for the same price. . .don't mean to be a dick, just thought the cut off was Nov. 1st and we're rolling on to two weeks into Nov. and no show. . .

I heard that he put the order in last friday.

They're on their way. The problem was that a lot of people showed interest and when it came down to actually getting in on this deal, a lot of those people disappeared and didn't get in so it took longer to get up to the number of people that was needed to get the GB price. I want mine just as bad as everyone else.

Happens a lot on these forums, huh? Thanks for doing the whole GB, really appreciate your patience, and sorry about being a tight ass, I wanted these gauges in before Christmas in case I drive anywhere. . .

ok just so there is no confussion I am ordering them this friday and they will all be shipped to me then i will ship them to you i am just trying to get a couple more people in on it before it is time to order

let me know if im too late or not

your not to late i am going to order tommorow or monday just as soon as my money transfer comes through

I am having complations on my bank account with transfering money for some reason i am trying to get it all worked out so i can place the order but i am positive that i will be placing it as soon as the money is in my paypal. sorry about the wait guys and thanx for being patiencent

In my mind, the pillar pod is already painted, gauges are inserted and mounted to my pillar........ waiting is sooo hard!

So whats the word Static?
Any luck?

bank sent me a letter yesterday and it should all be in the good this week. the day it happens the pods are going to be ordered. and they did say this week. before thursday actually

So this should happen today....? Where can I get the needed gauges?

it happenes soon guys i am doing all i can i know that its taking a long time but just think of when you do have it and also try autometer guages

Thanks man glad to hear something. I'm sure we all are thankfull for your hard work in getting this group buy going.
