i can make you a custom gauge pillar for 150 if you like ....pm me if anyone is interested...im working on a steering column pod for a member already and have made a custom dash pod for myself..im also currently working on somthing for the ashtray as well.

The a-pillar for the RX8 is considered a safety feature due to impact
protections in the car. We cannot make an a-pillar model due to
federal
regulations regarding modifying this feature.

hmm well from the look of the pics of the airbags deployed i dont think it would matter so much...am i wrong?

cnock

not that i can see legal BS if you ask me

cmr333

thats what i was thinkin..if they wont make them then hmmmmm..i still will

The second picture of the air bag that's been deployed is mine, and I can assure you that the side pillars don't make any difference with the air bag being deployed.

cmr333

yeah i work in the collision reapair business, i have had fist hand experiance with all the airbag modules in this car. As long and you guys dont sue me i will make your pods lol

I think, a lot more people would be interested if you could make a replica of the PTP gauge pod. I certainly would be interested! Here are a few pictures..

Got pics of the steering column pod? I have 2 gauges there right now, a real pod for that location would be great.

and yes i could reproduce that wild lookig dash pod up there... just keep in mind when i do dash parts i need the original part to modify...im not making a glue on part, im making a custom modified part to fulfill your liking

that looks like a pretty nice pillar setup, but only if you really like cf...personally i dont think itd match much inside the car.

cmr333

ive seen those many times before...i can make the same design just not in the carbon...i dont care to even use carbon unless its somthin that needs to be strong as all hell. i can do either plastic or frp..

hey, pm me a rough estimate on what youd charge to make a 2 gauge pod on top of the steering column. i have an aftermarket wheel now and want to put any gauges in roughly one place and not clutter up the dash. please. hahah. i dont want to sound pushy.

I have two gagues on my steering column too! A clean looking pod would be much better.

cmr333

I could make a column pod very similar to the dash pod i made for myself for two 2" gauges...i dont have any pics one one mainly because i havent done one yet. the person i was waiting on to do one for hasnt tried to contact me any further. if anyone wants to make the jump and get one done im waiting,.

06carbon8

how much would you charge for one? i may send my column down now. also, would the gauges be able to be swapped out for new ones or would they be perm molded in?

UNORTHDX8

Im very interested in the steering wheel pods as well

cmr333

im going tonight to do some playing around with my column just to be sure i can make this the way you guys want it to be..there is not alot of room to play with so its going to be a small challenge but im sure i can figure out somthing clean and simple...i will post up a concept pic tonight.
