clean! GLWB dude. how long/hard was it to take out your interior? and if you still have those 10mm's ill can take them off your hands if youre willing to sell.

Thanks, it only took around 2 hours for me to remove the interior and install the new one.
And no I don't have the 10mm spacers anymore.

Custom Dual Vent Gauge Pod
 
18 Attachment(s)
So yesterday I decided I was going to make a Custom Dual Vent Gauge Pod....
Here's what I started with...
Attachment 289324
Attachment 289325

Here's everything molded together initially before filing and sanding...
Attachment 289326
Attachment 289327

Test Fit...
Attachment 289328

Pics throughout the process, thought I had it finished yesterday, then test fit it again today and decided I didn't like the angle of it, so I cut the vent and gauge pods apart to angle it more towards me for a better view of the gauges, didn't really take pics of that part though...
Attachment 289329
Attachment 289330
Attachment 289331
Attachment 289332
Attachment 289333
Attachment 289334
Attachment 289335
Attachment 289336
Attachment 289337
Attachment 289338
Attachment 289339

And now for the finished product...

Thanks man, I impressed myself with how well it turned out :lol:

Chris 05-31-2012 08:11 AM

not original but guys, after seeing this in person, it turned out just as well as, if not better then the one I bought. Well done Kyle. Things are coming together nicely. Paint turned out well too.

pdxhak 05-31-2012 08:38 AM

Nice work! What did you use to mold the pieces together?

stinksause 05-31-2012 10:19 AM

subbed

9krpmrx8 05-31-2012 10:40 AM

Yeah it looks cleaner than my dual vent pod. Great Job.

kma5783 05-31-2012 03:00 PM

LOL Thanks guys!

Pdx - I used Aves Apoxie Sculpt to mold everything together

monchie 06-01-2012 09:16 PM

Rotr8 06-02-2012 10:26 AM

Yea it is, It worked amazingly well... The amount of time you have to work with it is awesome, like 2-3hrs and it's like working with clay. It takes 24hrs to fully cure but I found if you put it in the oven for 10-15min at 100 degrees and then let it sit for 20-30min to cool, it's basically cured and you're able to work with it, as in sanding and filing it down.

Oh and Thanks Greg because I got the idea to use it from your thread.

Chris 06-11-2012 10:13 PM

and then..... updates man....
