View Full Version : A-Pillar Gauge Pods.. WHO WANTS ONE
Protege5Gurly January-11th-2002, 11:33 PM I have the resources to have a new A-pillar gauge pod made up to accomodate 2 gauges. To get this off the ground I will need at least 20 confirmed orders. Cost will be $20 shipped.
Please email me at intenseimage@aol.com with your name, address, phone and messg board sn so I can submit the info to the company.
EDIT--- correction on price---- EDIT

Protege5Gurly January-12th-2002, 11:02 AM No pics yet since the company wont do any development untill they see some interest. However .... if you go over to the NECO messg board http://forums.fastcougar.com and look in the general section you will see a post about an Apillar...they just got their prototype piece in to test fit before final molds are taken. That will give ya an idea on what to expect-- in an early stage.
As for color, they will have it color matched to the interior.
Fitment--- they will be using my P5's pillar to do the molds, so im guessin gen3 only.... this wouldnt have been a question if the moderators would have kept this post in the gen3 section!

Done.:bounce:
RockfordCougar January-12th-2002, 09:29 PM Reefruner5.... I wont be able to show ya any pics at all (besides the one they are currently developing for the Cougar) until we show them enough interest (20 people) to have them start development on them.
Once I get 20 people on the list for them, they will take the pillar from Protege5Gurly's car and start the process.

RockfordCougar January-12th-2002, 09:31 PM Also, this would be for a 2-pod pillar. If enough interest is shown, once the 2 gauge pod is completed, a 3 pod could be developed...however that would take another 20 orders AFTER the 2 pod one is completed.

newfiep5 January-12th-2002, 09:39 PM 2 pods should be enough for most..I sent along my info and i saw the pics for the couger..looks sweet so far...
rowan January-13th-2002, 01:12 AM The black plastic parts look too shiny to me... it would be sweet if they were a nice matte/textured black like the rest of the black plastic interior..
It's no good having a big reflection on your windsheild from your gauge pods... although maybe it's just the photos that make it look that way.
RockfordCougar January-13th-2002, 01:43 AM Hey boss... thats just the PROTOTYPE..... the final design will be a solid tan to match the cougars interior. The same would be done for the interior of the p5 since thats what this is being designed for. Plus, it will be textured to match as well.

RockfordCougar January-13th-2002, 01:50 AM Here is a pic of the PROTOTYPE that is being done for the Cougar... as you can tell, its not done... but when the final piece is ready, it will be fully color/texture matched to the interior and the holes for the gauges will be cut out as well.

RockfordCougar January-13th-2002, 03:55 PM I took a pic but apparently I cant post attachments -- this board really does have some weird rules.

YellowPR5 January-14th-2002, 09:06 AM Will this gauge pod be an attachment to the current pillar, or will this be a complete pillar replacement? I don't want those cheap ones you attach to your current pillar.

krotine
RockfordCougar January-14th-2002, 09:12 PM From the looks of it, this will be a full replacement. I will be sending in a pillar next week for them to start working on-- we have enough interest for them to start.
The Cougar pillar goes all the way back to the Bpillar--- too big to do as a full replacement. What they did was make a cut/slip version that meets at the top of the glass.... exactly where the Pro5 pillar ends, thats why we are goin with it being a full pillar .....ill know more later.
