thanks guys, I can't believe that thing is $100 with that terrible quality. I swear sometimes I see some of these aftermarket products and it makes me so upset I want to just go to china and have a huge batch made and selll them for 1/4 the price. I bet that thing literally costs them <$2 to manufacture so not sure why they can't get the quality/fitment better

Heres mine, fitment was just as crappy as the others, I filed it down some and painted with some black paint that matched the dash pretty good and it came out ok.

That looks nice. I should probably do that one of these days.

Despite the lack of quality on the molding, I think the SLP pod is one of the better options if you want a real gauge for something. I had a custom molded 2 gauge pillar pod made for my last build. It looked clean and fit well, but I'm not a big fan of pillar pods in general. The SLP is a little more low key.

GM's color code for low gloss black interior is 600r jet black

If we had a bunch of them that people wanted painted I could get them painted in the "real" stuff for a small fee.

There are some nice carbon fiber ones but they're like $500+

Yeah the fit on the SLP one is total crap, it's a shame too.. good idea otherwise.

I see a lot of dual gauges being just boost and afr. What about fuel pressure? I was gonna do a triple pod and have all three readily visible with digital gauges.

I went with the aeroforce gauge to get everything you could want to watch without needing multiple gauges. If doing it today I would go with the HP Tuners Ngauge.
