Gauge Pod HELP!

Ok I have an 03 Lightning...I need a triple guage pod thats in the factory light grey and requires no cutting or any fab work done to it....is there one out there? From where? Ive searched forever and only founf ones that need painted, or the are painted but need to be cut because they chenged the design of the apillars from 2002.5-2004 from the earlier models...so anyone know??

Have you tried our supporting vendors? I bought mine from Razor's Edge Motorsports in Florida, but it did need a little cutting on the top ridge.

Lotek sells one that only needs the top corner heated and bent slightly to perfectly fit your 03. All of them will need to be painted. The Lotek comes painted (for an extra $8 charge), but in shipping it gets scuffed and needs paint anyway. Duplicolor makes an interior plastic/vinyl dye that almost perfectly matches your interior.

I am fighting the same issue. Seems as though RPM Outlet has one for the 03-04 and you can now order it in colors!
"ThunderBolt" on the SVT Performance board sent me a couple of pics.

I used the auto-meter pod. Perfect fit but will need to be painted. Got pod from summit-racing, paint from pep boys (dupli-color). Color and texture are perfect

i bought a dual pod from: http://www.gaugepods.com/ford_t.html

Paint match and fit was perfect: just snapped right in. Even had 2 plastic screw hole covers. Pix of 3-pod from their site

I bought a Lotek and Andre' from nloc.net gave me instructions on how to make it look exactly like stock just takes a little cutting, sanding, and heating and bending so hopefully it will come out perfect!
