MY DASH PROJECT DONE! (pics)
HI!... Well I wanted to add some more gauges to my truck, like EGT, VOLT, etc, but had no where to mount them to to the F-150 having such a rounded dash board. I already have a LO-TEK triple gauge pod on the "A" pillar, two gauges mounted out on my CERVINI's hood and my WIDEBAND mounted inthe R/H drivers A/C vent. So talked to a buddy of mine that does custome car interior panels and we came up with this. I bought a 05 WRX triple gauge pod from AUTOMETER and trimmed it down to fit the contour of the top dash. My buddy then used PRO-FORM 2 piece epoxy and grafted it into the dash. Here are some pics :

HI!... Well my buddy is thinking of making a mold of the triple gauge pod for our dash's and produce them. He was figuring on about $600(CAN) if he has to get the dash piece or cheaper if someone sends him theirs to do. He has like 20 hours just into mine. This one cost me $450(CAN) to do. I supplied all the parts and material. He did the labour.

Looks Good
What color did you use, and what did you use to make the texture? I used SEM Texture coating, and dye. Mine turned out pretty good, but only 2 pods.
