Thank you all for your patience!

The pods are finally being setup for the production run at the plastic shop this week. I hope to have a couple at the Speedventure's event on Thursday and Friday. If not, we will have pictures on the website the following week.

The gauge pods will be offered in two varities: $69.95 for non-painted and $74.95 painted with high quality DuPont paint to match the interior color trim. The unit is a full length replacement for the A-pillar and is offered with two pods. They are available with 2 1/16" SAE holes or 60mm metric holes. As a special order, they are available uncut for special gauges (ie. 52mm Defi Link gauges). Installed, the pod looks like it came from the factory. The finish is exact. I have seen several gauge pods available for other cars including one for RHD S2000. I can say with confidence that this is the best quality and best looking pillar pod available.

Best regards,
-- Chris

Chris,


This is an injection molded
Can you give me some details on getting something "injection molded". Previous projects I have investigated stopped at the $5000 for a mold. How do you make the mold? Can you do this on a minimal production run? Some cost guidelines would be great.

Thanks

Lew
