cool, i would have tried to aim them a bit better for your line of sight though.

it looks like you might have used too much bondo, but being inside the car it should be fine. looks pretty good

yep fuch heat from the center vents the bondo isnt that thick and plus i blocked off the hear box hole for the vent s there no heat on the back of the gauges .

i noticed the Acoustic Research tweeters in there, i have the same setup. did your car come with leather too? i've never seen another civic with the AR stereo, or with leather so i was just wondering

Re: new gauge pod i made for my eg

And if you want everything real smooth you could paint this with high build primer , sand that down with p400 paper and then paint it.

Looks good, I did the exact same thing with my last turbo'd 95 EX, except that I only blocked off one vent for a boost gauge. I hit up the whole bezel with some satin black and it looked like it came from the factory that way. :D

t57b18 01-30-2007 06:50 PM

Re: new gauge pod i made for my eg
 
thanks,i used satin but it came out glossie but it might be from the primer i have one of the pods for sale nw look it the sale thread .

Theres still the two vents at the sides of the dash that will give you heat. and that one Top-center for the windsheild, what more do you need?

MAJORAHOLE 02-14-2007 08:52 AM

Re: new gauge pod i made for my eg
 
i don't need ----, cause i don't drive my civic in tha winter, but others do. when i used to drive it, i would have wanted those extra 2.
