Will it be a vacuum gauge to measure how much the 1.8 sucks?

 

[$ub$onic]

Lol wow nice one

 

[RSTURBO]

Im soo ready for a gauge pod option...any updates on the ZZP one?

I'm just the same boat. I've got my mechanical boost / vaccum gauge sitting in the cubby beside the radio and waiting until I can move it up top

I'd also like to see a replacement cover for above the tachometer so that I can get a flat smooth part to attach the suction cup for my GPS...

But gauge pod first, on their Facebook it seems that it will be above the radio but I can't tell anything beyond that.

Yeah I'm getting tired of waiting for this one and about to just make something myself.... but I really don't feel like doing all of that I'd rather just buy something that's easy. I've gotten lazy in my old age.

Can't beastlick fab up something for the top?

 

[Luv2xlr8]

Can't someone make a gauge pod like STI's have;

This one looks even better

Second one looks like the pattern would snuggle with the RS interior. Who is going to make one?

Someone with some fiberglass talent could do it easily. When I had my SVT Focus with a ProCharger kit on it I made a gauge pod to replace one of the vents and it came out really nice. Oh, and I stink at glass and filler. lol

Wow, cant believe I haven't noticed this thread so far. I've been looking around for pod ideas also. I'm not a huge fan of ZZP's sonic proto pod. It does look "stuck on" I think a hood style like the STI pods would accent our stock gauges much better.

If only we knew of someone skilled in making custom prototypes . . .

I don't know if we can fit 3 gauges in that area. I need to find a spare center dash piece I can mold some pod ideas into. Anyone got a part number?

 

[firstorbit84]

I don't, but look for users on Ebay selling parts from wrecked cars for a spare top tray

This ebay auction includes the top dash piece. It doesn't say specifically but I messaged and asked for this very reason. And it's cheaper than getting the piece from a place such as gmpartsdirect.

And by the way, three gauges will fit perfect! A lot of guys use 2" black PVC pipe to insert the gauges in when making custom pods, I did a quick template to see how well three would fit and I think it would look much better than two.

Or, going for a record of three posts in a row, I saw this interesting accessory on ebay, for adding a 7" tablet, aftermarket Nav, custom gauge holder or whatever to your Sonic

I agree, that does look very good with 3 rather than 2. I was originally thinking of keeping everything in the "pocket" area. I'm pretty sure that pocket is a separate part from the top bezel

I like the idea of a flange running the outside like this one for a bonding surface to the dash. Hmmm... hmm....
