Triple Gauge Pods For Sale!
 

Since no one has seemed to fill the void when the previous vendor stopped producing these, I decided to step up and come up with something similar. My supplier has 3 in stock right now and came have more made if there is interest. If you are not familiar with there, they mount where the speaker grill is on the dash. It provides a much cleaner solution for your gauges as opposed to the cheap and ugly a-pillar mounts. I will have both 52 and 60mm pods.

Pic quality isn't great. They were taken by the manufacturer and the pods were not cleaned up prior to but you can see what they will look like.

What is the price?

$150

any pics of fitment?

I'll have to take some. It will fit just like the speaker grill as that is used for the mold for the mounting base. I will have more pics in about a week.

they look good and not to be picky, but can the supplier try to texture the guage pod to match 94+ interiors? I totally understand the cost vs. demand vs. to many options, but it never hurts to ask.

Any quad pods 60mm . I will like 10 sets.

I will ask

Put me down for one 52mm and one 60mm.

No quad pods at the moment. If there is sufficient interest I can have some made up.

60mm pods will be slightly more, like $10-20.

Finally!
 

Love that someone has stepped up with another pod! Would love to see some pics of it installed to see fitment...

would like to see pics of these mounted :biggthumpup:

Give me about a week. The manufacturer is putting on the finishing touches. I wouldn't sell something if it wasn't right. Also, they are completely molded. They are NOT made of pvc elbows like some of the other offerings that have been on the market.

you got me watching for installed pics

Greetings,

Not here to thread crap, hijack or anything else, as this will be my one and only post in this thread, but if you are going to advertise pods of your own design, or your manufacturer's design, you should at least use your own product in those photos, not mine.
I think it's fair that the public knows that what is shown in the pictures from post #2, #3 & #4 above were conceived, designed and manufactured by myself, not IR Performance, as is implied by posts #1 and #5.
A little truth in advertising should be in order here.

Frank

(I guess to be a little more clear, those are pictures of one of my pods, not theirs)

I think its pretty clear they are just replicating your design, not the inventors of it.

The pics was sent to me from my manufacturer. The design is NOT copied from the original piece. I did not even provide my manufacturer one of your pods to duplicate. Sure the idea is not new, but it has been done before by many Japanese manufacturers.The individual pieces are cast from molds, not from pvc elbows like some other manufacturers use. Before you accuse me of copying or stealing pictures, get your facts straight. Have a nice day.

Alright, fine. If you want facts, then explain to me why my manufacturing stamp is clearly visible in post #4 (halfway between the center set-screw and the right clip). That stamp is on every pod I make. It is a 3 leaf clover or club, if you will.
That and the machining mark from the tooling of the CNC router is clearly noticeable on the baseplate (bottom right, in the lip, round circle), that is also on every one of my baseplates. If, as you say, your pods were molded, I don't think you would have machining marks.

Let's also get something else straight; I'm not accusing you of stealing or copying 'pictures' as you state, I could care less, but posting pictures of a pod I manufactured and claiming it as your own. That's false advertising.

So, either your manufacturer is duping you or someone is lying.
Maybe you should get your facts straight.

Like I said, I didn't come here to hijack, but if you profess that what is in those pics is indeed the pods you are offering then I'm going to have to disagree.

Regards,
Frank

I like where this thread is going...

Those pics were sent to me by the manufacturer. I was told the first couple he made were by hand. The process was too tedious and time consuming so the final product is going to be molded. The stamp you claim looks like a hole to me. I could be wrong, but I don't have that specific pod here. He is in California, I am in NJ so I can't go look at the pod this instant. Lets not turn this into a pissing match. I am not going to sell something that is a copy of another's product nor up to my standards. He is promising me more pics shortly. Everyone please be patient until then.

:icon_tdown:
tell your "manufacturer" to get his own pictures.

Spoke with the manufacturer. The picsa are of the prototype like I said before. There is no stamp of any sort. The mark you see is for a set screw to hole the pods to the base. The final product will not have these. The final version will also have smoother transitions between the individual pods. I've know the guy for a long time and he wouldn't send me pics of someone else's product. If you are not interested in my product, get out of my thread. Those who expressed interest, I will have an update soon.

I have a Flyrx7 52mm tripod, and the pod shown in this thread is either one of his pods or an exact mold of his pod. It has the same tooling marks and the clover mark is clearly visible in the pics. I stand by Flyrx7 on this one, he has been making these pods for how long? I think he would know what one of his own pods looks like. I know there is a big demand for Flyrx7's pods right now, but that does not give anyone a right to just go out and make an exact replica of all of his hard work. Even if someone did decide to make an exact copy and not come up with something original at least give the guy some credit. Just my $000.02

read the post above your's and get out if you dont like it. i want to know what you guys are smoking that makes that hole look like a clover. remember kids, drugs are bad.

furthermore, unless his design has a patent on it ANYONE can make a "replica" and sell it as their own. and you say he has been "making" then for how long? you mean how long has it been since he made some? right when someone finally steps up to fill the void, he reappears like 2 years later. lol

Would kill to have a gauge pod that fits FC demister/defogger vents on dash.

But the pods look good for y'all FD guys

IR - any idea when we can get good pictures of the production pieces?

Thank you,

To those that haven't noticed my other thread; we are in the process of moving shop so I have been super busy with that. I will post an update as soon as I can.

This is how the prototype was made. The final product will be injection molded. http://i32.tinypic.com/29wpq9f.jpg

http://i30.tinypic.com/2r7spqc.jpg
This was hand made and was not copied from anyone else's design.

Also, I will be able to do these in both smooth and textured finishes. The standard color will be black but I can do any color.

very intrested - can't wait to see pics.

ready when you are.

Very interested in a triple pod for 60 mm gauges seems to be a very nice product, but of course it will better to se the final production of the product, if you are going to plan any list or a per order basis put me in for one of these.
