Talking "Factory Gauge Pillar"-Thoughs????

Got the gauges and universal 3 gauge pillar.

I wasn't too crazy with the look when I bolted the universal pillar on so I took matters in my own hands. I wanted a "Factory" look with the "plastic" texture.

What do you guys think?

Oil Pressure, Water Temp. & Volts.
Got them from Glowshift. Tinted, multicolor so I can match interior lights.

I never did this kind of work before so it took me a few days to measure, cut, fiberglass, and bondo everything. After that I took it to my buddy (works in collision shop) and then he touched up a few spots (fixed up my screwups), textured it (so it looks like actual original plastic texture) and then made the color so it matched the original. He painted the passanger side too just to make sure that they both looked the same in the front.

I am super happy how it turned out. However....I will not be home for a few days so I didn't get a chance to put my gauges in and connect everything.

I will post pictures of the totaly finished product with the gauges in a few days.

But "Street Wolf" if you are serious about this, I can talk to my friend and see how much he would charge you. Also he would need to buy the "Universal Gauge Pod" from the Glowshift and make it fit onto the original one. But before any of that, you would need to disconect both your pillars and send them to Canada so he can get them preped up. I am pretty sure that any collision service in your area can do the same thing.

Cheers!
