aight i was looking around on po.com (even thoe im not a member, F*ck the 7 dollar enrollment thing) i saw this pic right here:

if u really think about it, it shouldnt be that hard to make, take three cheap ebay gauge pods (single ones), cut three holes in the dash piece, glue them in there, and then just mold them in there with bondo. am i wrong when i say that?? maby i should try it. the only problem i can think of is, making it look stock, spraypaint is gonna look to shiny, if only i can get my hands on some oem honda plastic... but my theory is correct no?

ohh and this is what they have a group buy on:

i think those vent gauges are so fugly and they want 500 bux for itmg:

Thats completely made from ABS plastic... NO bondo or any of that other junk that cracks and peels with sunlight and heat... Ive experienced it 1st hand way to many times... I guess go for it and try to make your own if you want.. But, its usually a much more intensive project that it appears to start down this road...


I think $500 is a little bit pricey... I couldnt see more than $200 for it, but at the same time the work that shop does is absolutely awesome...

how hard is it to mold abs plastic? oh and if they made vents like the 2 first pics, shit ide pay 200 for it... but the other one i wouldnt pay more then 50 bux for

that looks just like the 350z.. stock one...

u kno what, f it. im gonna buy some chepo single gauge pods off ebay and try to make this, i need new center vents anyway, myne look like shit. if it works it work, if it dont it dont

 

[97preludeN.O.]

if it works im all in on this one you may have some $$$ coming your way

 

[soulja620]

yeah you can make these yourself for about roughly $200... and you'll learn something

 

[djurchicprelude]

if it works out the way im thinking i think i can defently do it cheaper then 200.... where can i buy abs plastic to mold? or i might just try bondo first

 

[SquishyPanda]

Fiberglass and paint it body color. Or try to find a paint that matches your interior... there's bound to be one.

Instead of starting off and not knowing anything.. try learning something and starting off from there before making huge mistakes.
