Guage Pod Pics???

Reply #15 –
I put a dual gage pod in my '83, and then realized that it did not fit too well with the vent windows. So I have some large gaps at the top and bottom so that I am able to still use the vent windows. I will try to get some pics tonight.

do they have a single pod that will go on both drivers and passenger's side?  i've got an idea brewing.  i hate the blind spots in my car, on the interstate someone can get along side me behind my door and they disapear.  i HATE the idea of a bubble mirror on my outside mirrors and those pods look GREAT to put a covert bubble mirror on.  i know its kinda odd, but with the amount of time i spend on the highway its the best idea i've come up with yet.  since i have the starwars guages on a 5.0 sport so i dont need any auxilery guages so this pod idea is the best i can come up with to fix the blind spot with a mirror and without making my outside mirrors ugly.

what do you guys think?

Actually, thats a pretty cool idea. Might be tough getting one for the  passenger side, though.

How is a bubble mirror INSIDE the car gonna work?

Besides that, those gauge pods are angled in toward the driver.

I'm intrested in that Kyle, Sounds like something I might just have to try.

havnt you ever seen the bubble mirrors drivers put in thier cars in nascar?  they cant have extruding side mirrors so they get a simple bubble mirror and of course in nascar they fab up a bracket, but otherwise the thing is tucked inside the drivers area, its perfect for knowing who's right on your inside quarter panel... at 186mph its not much, but im sure on a street car it'd be very versitile.


arent most of these things kinda generic (guage pods)?  or at least jc whitney have got to have some generic pillar pods... im ganna look into it.  i mean, if i can drive past the riciest civic that has his normal guage cluster readings on his A pillar (oil pres, water temp, etc) and know how that dude's cars runnin as i drive by... i think i might be able to find some that'll work for a mirror.  im kinda concerned with the pod itself tho, it's bulky enough for a boost guage so its kinda big for a mirror... but i'll waste some time and money and see what i get.
