Default NEW Product - Triple Gauge Pillar Pod - Interest?

At this time our company is looking to see what the interest would be in a Scion tC Triple Gauge Pillar Pod. The Pillar Pod would be a complete replacement and would be Dupont matched to the same color as the other pillars within the car. Estimated Price of the pod would be around $59 + Shipping. Development time would take about 6 weeks before actual item could begin shipping.

Post up if you are interested.

Definitely. I have seen them from other companys, but they are only in black and are more expensive than that i think.

Sounds pretty good especially if one plans to go forced induction for boost, a/f ratio, and various other gauges. I like to see it with the same fabric thats on our stock A-pillar's though.

At this time, due to the boost options with this car, we are only considering triple at this time

Just out of curiousity, why would you take your eyes off the road to look over at your gauges? Wouldn't they be a little hard to read?

The whole point of why I want Japanese Gauge Pod of the passenger is
for the soul purpose of SHOW only. Not too many vehicles out there do that.

And i would like to be the first, if not one of a tC to do it

That is correct... It would not work with the air curtains... There is no way around this at this time

Understandable. That would be nice. I kinda liked the Jotech setup where they had it in the dash on the passenger side.

Yeah I can see how that would totally suck, good observation.

I would def inatly be interested in one as long as the pillar pod will be made the same color and out of the same cloth as the stock pillars. Thats the ONLY way im in.. pics would be nice.

Do you plan on using the same color coded fabric as the stock pillars??
