The covered gauge pod. Leather is on its way (its being shipped).
looks pretty good from my angle!
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.” – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
Yup, that is a magnitude better than previous attempts.
Do we have a price on this version?
Drink wine! BMW CCA #373875 - 2007 M Coupe (project) - 2000 Z3 Coupe - 2015 Impreza wagon
this is looking really good
.
I will significantly lower the price if i have a group buy!
This looks good? Are you kidding me?
2001 S54 LSB/NAPA. 1 of 7.
Remember that this is not reupholstered in leather just yet. We are solely talking about the shape of this minus some finishing work.
So is it $240 with or without the leather?

the $240 will include a leather reupholstering!
Ok special offer time, the first group buy of 12-15 people pay $25 as a non refundable deposit. Then $150 for the actual pod itself and shipment for the pod. Bringing the total to $175 + shipping, I am doing this to get things rolling. This is a cheap price for a covered Zoran pod! First 12-15 people who accept these details are in the group buy. Then i need 2-5 weeks to complete these gauge pods and will ask for the remaining money plus shipping costs. They will then be shipped off!
I'm pretty sure you'll need to show a finished pod (with leather and photographed with adequate lighting) before people commit.
Aren't the Z3 dash's covered in vinyl? I cannot find any local souces for black leather, only tan/brown, so i had to order from the internet. Would it be suitable to cover this in a black vinyl rather than black leather or a black imposure leather?
Some vinyl is very convincing. If prepared right, I don't see it as an issue. The "grain" should match OEM though.
Ok the grain is leather like, so it should! This should be covered this week depending when i get what i ordered.. Who is interested?
That arouses one question to me, why did you guys want only leather in the first place?
The dash looks like leather, so the concensus seems to be that the pod needs to match that (ie. not just a painted pod).
ok, the pod will match!
Ok, covered the pod in a rush tonight thus its not the best job. But i dont know how to make it any beter, anyone willing to help out?
Those pics make me cringe Randy!
Anytime i think about drilling into my pretty estoril dash I am reminded of how much a new dashboard costs...
Which leads me to thinking about these threads on custom gauge pods. Is there any reason not to make a two gauge pod on the left side of the instrument cluster (taking out the topside vent in the process)?
Some ladies like a hand-held. I prefer to drive mine.
have a even newer pod deisign done. I will post pics once its covered!
