damn white crystal....that truck is badass...i LOVE what you have done with it....its amazing how we are never satisfied and always want more mods.....lol.....ok here is my situation...I have the eclipse avn5500 installed in my truck which handles my rear view camera and navigational needs, but I want to fill in that gap in the dash with something...I want something super pimp...who knows what...maybe a badass equalizer or some of those guages...I really like the look of the piller a-pod green glowing guages on the left, but someone in this thread said that they are junk...so I don't want junk....I don't necessarily mind the look of the one guage with the os handle still remaining, but this is something down the road....I still want to have part of my rims powdercoated, need a new amp, want to lower my truck etc.....so if you have any suggestions that will help I am always superappreciative!!

ps. thats the coolest signature I have seen.....how do I get one like that with my truck?

I ask Patman03SprCrw to do it for me, I have no idea how. I sent him a few pictures to make it from. I even downloaded some stuff and have no idea how to use it to make one either

Yeah, I just ask him if he would make me one. It took me longer to send him picture than for him to make it I am very happy with it.

fast, there was also someone that made one a while back on a lightning, used PVC pipe for the openings, and just layed them in and what not. then primered, textured, and painted to match.

HI!... It's actually a WRX STI tripple gauge pod from AUTOMETER. I just trimmed the bottom of it to fit the top dash panel the way I wanted it to sit. A buddy of mine used a spiecal two part plastic epoxy and grafted it on. Then sanded it, smoothed it and sprayed a texture one it. Then just sprayed it the matching interior colour.
