My assumed cost would be $75...that's what I'm giving a local to do one up for me.

that's probably what I would charge.
When I me mine I just used pvc for the gauge cup and fiberglassed it on. Took a few days to make, and only cost about $10-15 including the dash piece.

how exactly did you only spend $15? You're obviously not factoring in multiple items needed to do it correctly. Hell, the PVC fittings needed to start are $5 alone. Then factor in the following:
Resin/hardener
Mat
Filler
icing
sand paper (80 grit, 120, 220, 500)
CA glue
On top of all this, factor in time spent.
But hey, if you can offer them to people for $15, have fun with that.
I had the glass, hardener, resin, and sand paper. I paid $14 for the column piece and $1 for pvc. I never said I'd make these for anyone because I won't. I was just saying you can do it yourself cheap.
I meant mat not resin. If I had to buy everything I used I probably would have spent around $35, and about 5 hours of time

I'll steal the money if one of these comes available!!!!
I have a dual gauge pod not doing anything and a spare column piece, so if anyone wants to come forward and make me one, I will send you my parts asap
K, thx!
Hey guys, I made the pod for thevillagemon's car, he pointed me over here!
Here's the one I made without the final paint to match
Can hit it with a texture coat and a real dark grey to get pretty close to factory texture/color
I'm in central wisconsin.. I'd be willin to make a handful of these.. would just need the factory column piece and the gauge you want installed.
PM me!
I have a spare column piece I could give you when I pick up the trunk.
