HUD pod?

Has anyone tried to adapt the 98-02 HUD pod and what did you have to do to get it to work? Wanting to see what we can adapt or not
 


he's talking about adding a HUD Gauge pod.. i dunno how well it would fit based on curves.. but could give you a starting point to modify one...
 
I had a guy in another tread that posted a pic there is a huge differnece, now if I did a setup like a guy did on here before I joined that I seen where he took 2 separate gauge pod holders and formed them to the HUD itself then that would work, and possibly start making them or sell the design to get made?

Another thing that would be cool is make it where you can change the HUD to blue or red or another color... Idk how you would change it though.
 


There it is lolol sorry dsmuts didn't wanna go back to find the name out lol on my phone and its been messing up!! Thanks though
 
Are you talking about how I added pods to a Bonneville HUD?



Bit of fab work, and I'm unsure if the super thin HUD trim panel would support it. But you could always do an add on similar to the ZZP one. Just lay down some cling wrap or something...get the contour of the dash then work from there.




I used a trash bag






Keep in mind, this was my first time glassing and or trying such a thing. Took a lot of time since I learned as I went. Overall though, came out pretty good.

like a boss



now were is he week spot lol jk
 
It was my first time. I had no idea other than reading the container. And ..originally I only thought I wanted one pod, hence why the others were added a smidge after. I got a spare piece, trimmed...cut ...sanded...fit... checked...taped. Then laid a couple pieces of glass on to start making it rigid. Went from there in whatever direction seemed to be right.

One thing to keep in mind. An LCD gauge like an aeroforce does not like to sit in the direct summer sun on a dash while you are at work. When you flip the car on, it's tough to read until it cools a bit. Never hurt by it..but you could tell the heat kept the display from working perfectly when it was turned on.
 
I think the hardest thing with glassing is getting the mix right put to much hardner in the mix and you dont have a lot of time to work with it put to little and it takes forever to finally dry and even then its not completley rigid. also when you glass make sureyou apply thin coats of resin/hardner and alternate directions with the weave layers. thats how you get the strongest and most durable glass job
 
If I do a aero force it'll be in my piller pod lol so no problem there lol and what did you do to make the far left stay in place? Not wiggle or anything?
 


There was enough structure near it from the clips that it didn't move. Plus..I used enough stuff that it weighed quite a bit. I wanted to do some filling and instead of foam..I just poured in resin/hardner.. literally a lake.
 
Lolol that's what I wondered when I first seen it lol might be looking at a ssei and selling the Gxp the payment is killin me
