Interested in a console mount carbon fiber gauge pod???
Mods, This is simply a post to gauge interest in our designs. If interests is high then of course we will become a paid sponsor and only post parts for sale in the sponsored sales section.
After making the prototype in my personal TC, I had numerous "understatement" pm's and emails asking if I would make more of these. The answer is yes. The finished product if people are interested will be 100% bolt on with 0 modifications needed. The gauge mount also is 100% removable so you can put the dash back to stock in a heartbeat.
The production panels are all flawless carbon fiber panels. Each will be hand made, test fitted with quality guaranteed. All panels will have steel reinforced backing for strength and support. Each panel for the tc will match the curve of the dash perfectly.
If produced, There will be 3 basic designs. Prices of each design to not include shipping. "Priority mail expected to be around $7.00"
Of course if in production, there will be a discount for pre-orders here on scionlife!
#1 A blank panel with reinforcements so you can mount pretty much anything you desire to the console. $69.99
#2 A panel with a single din cutout on the top for a stereo. "can mounts should not be used with this item, a re-drill of the factory mount will be required" $79.99
#3 A panel as pictured below with three 52mm cutouts and a single din opening. "can mounts should not be used with this item, a re-drill of the factory mount will be required" $89.99
Last item, there will be a custom fit carbon fiber bolt in panel for the cubby hole. It will hold a single 52mm or 60mm gauge. To the left of the gauge, will be blank carbon fiber so custom items, switches, bass gain ***** or whatever can be mounted. This is expected to sell for $39.99 if produced.[/b]
And of course, custom items can be produced.
Things that will not happen or work.... 60mm gauges with a din deck will not happen. A din deck with 52mm gauges AND the door assembly will not happen. You will have to eliminate the door in order for this to work.
Let me know what you guys think and how if you are interested. If there is enough interest, I will be in the sponsored sales section within a week taking pre-orders.

thanks man! I will be working on a version soon that can house a single din deck with the door still in place. Below the deck will just be blank carbon fiber for looks or to install anything you would like...
