Default Custom Gauge pod pics......like or dislike?

i custom painted these to...kinda match my interior since they dont make tan pods.....the single pod is a 60mm greddy single pillar,the little one is a universal 52mm pod to be mounted anywhere which i also painted....tell me what you think....like or no???

Paint looks good. Just not that crazy about the "rivet" look on the pillar. Would prefer a molded piece.

I dont really care for it...
I would have got another universal pod for the boost and put it on the other side of the cluster.

ok, imho...the paint should match the darker tint of the trim so it blends in better

I would have done either a dual pod or dual Swivel Pod, but not one each. The exposed wiring showing on the swivel pod is an issue for me.

Agreed x3, there are no SC pods out there.

agree with scoupe

i had the supra triple pillar on my old sc, this one i'm gonna run them on my dash, cuz it's easier to read, although the wires might be much more visible
