HUD gauge pod

[speedemongtp]

Any one have an hud gauge pod and some pics of it installed? Is there anything that really holds it in place or does it just kinda slip in? I have one but am not exactly sure how it goes in place an stays there.

Re: HUD pod

This requires not only the HUD unit, but part of the dash and the switch as well.

Thanks thats sorta what i was lookin for picture wise. i just cant fig out how far to actually push it back its weird the way it sets in when you go to put it in its place. Hopefully someones got one that can give me a bit of advice

It's a sh*tty design, it just sits there.

Should i opt to sell an get a pillar pod setup instead?

There is no way to fasten it down? Hmm... glad I never bought one then. Surely you could fab something up to use double sided tape or something. Otherwise it sounds like if you hit the brakes hard it could fly forward and hit you in the noggin if your wires\connections were extremely long or broke.

I've seen these installed and they look nice IMO. I just didn't realize that they didn't attach to anything. :th_angry2:

Hope someone gives you some more pics man. I have a pillar pod and love it. Only problem is that it makes it hard to clean your windshield.

well the only thing is a tab on one side an i cant figure out where it goes

Umm, wouldn't it hit the windshield?? :th_nanana:

 

[speedemongtp]

^ very true. it would maybe hit me in the noggin if i stomped the gas though or atleast slide off possibly.

Lmao, I'd personally just keep it and find a way to get it to stick, and buy a pillar pod.

 

[speedemongtp]

and have 5 gauges? i thought about it. maybe i will.

 

[Street Wolf]

I'm going to have seven when I get done. lol

I have four AeroForce gauges. I've got a boost gauge, and a Air/Fuel gauge in the pillar pod already as well, and another must have is going to be the oil PSI gauge.

Damn street your gonna be able to watch anything and everything you could possibly watch all at once. Where are you putting all these at? Obviously 3 in the pillar but what about the other 4?
