ANSWERS TO A FEW QUESTIONS:
I have received some questions/Comments about the A-Pillar Gauge Pods - let me try to answer them here:
Q1: Someone said it looked like they did not fit to well in the pictures.
They fit very well. In those pictures I am holding them in place with my thumb, so they are not drawn up tight. We bought and shipped 2 a-pillar trim pieces from 928 Intl and shipped them right to the molder so they could do destructive mold processes on them and test the prototype. Then, we must've called B Grabner a dozen times to drive over in his 928 and we had them test-fitted on his 928 in-the-car. They are as good as they can possibly be. Many thanks to B Grabner - and we are sending him a free one.
Q2: A few saw a larger space between pod 1 and pods 2 and 3 on the 3-pod unit. The reason for the space at the top between pod #1 and #2
is because - to save costs in manufacturing - we had one set of dies made with an optional fillet plate that could be removed. This saved $2000 because we did not have to make two separate dies. So I have one set of dies that can make both 2-pod units and 3-pod units.
Q3: Shipping. We are shipping them today, tomorrow - every day. We have also included 2-sided adhesive trim tape (the good stuff) and matching upholstery screws in the kit so you can mount them with or w/o a screw - your pleasure. Installation instructions are also included.

Brian -
Krylon has a new paint meant just for painting plastics - you oculd try it -
but then you get into a whole color-match thing and the black showing thru should the gauge pod paint ever get scratched.
I'd leave them alone - leave them black. It will not look out of place.
How do you color this material..... for those of us with non-black interiors?
