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.

Ya that looks pretty good!

Yup, good idea.
I never use those vents!

I can make this. All I need is the peice that goes there. Building something very simlar right now, but for an Audi A4.

Nice but wiring should be a bitch.

wicked, i hope HTP makes these for sale, i would love a pod like this as i hate the ricey look of the pillar and cant stand it!

thats a sick idea but i love those center vents especially when i use AC and can turn it towards me lol in the heat.

Great idea, but not a big fan

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....

Ya my Prosports are like a 53mm, really tight fit, almost dont even need a bracket.

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.

Thats old new Ive seen that before and VW have been doing that forever

looks good
