jdmparts_guru Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I got some requests from people who were looking for pillar gauge pods. If there is enough demand, I may do a Group Buy. Cost still needs to be determined, depends on the quantity of course. I expect something like $40 - 50 each.
jdmparts_guru Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 photo of the 2pot. 1pot and 3pot are also avail.
Calvin L Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 might as well go all out and get it in CF. :D if you do this in specific 3 pod and CF, i will be interested. even though i dont have an SC. but if the pillar does not vary and the "92-00" are the same then im game.
jdmparts_guru Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 3 gauge pods and CF-look 1/2/3 gauge pod are also available. Real CF pods are very expensive and therefore not available through me for now.
SCoupe Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 ...looking for pillar gauge pods. Heck yes I am looking, I'm so freaking happy that someone is doing this right now! Want a two pot. Please get them in tan!!! RE: the black color, most SC3/4's have a tan color interior, can we match that? (A black interior is almost unheard of in the SC's, very rare!)
jdmparts_guru Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 :o They only come in black and in CF look (also black). Probably you paint them yourself?
bean_8044 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 I have a !Removed! light blue interior, but what size are the pod holes on there?? 2" or 2 5/8 or what
Calvin L Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 in other words, 52mm or 60mm>? how much do these products weigh?
bean_8044 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 I saw some of the dash 3-pod dealies on yahoo japan with the carbon outsides..i might be able to harass a friend into gettin them since its almost impossible to get on Y! Japan unless youre japanese
Sadistic Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Almost every pillar pod that I've ever seen has 52mm holes. If you want 60mm you have to get into single cups or the odd little dash mount pieces.
jdmparts_guru Posted January 14, 2004 Author Posted January 14, 2004 how much do these products weigh? not too sure about the weight, but these are very, very light. It is made of plastic.
Sadistic Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I'm sure it's lighter than factory, because it's thinner than factory. Your factory pillar is pretty thick.
97SC Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I may be interested, but... How do you install these things:) I've never removed a pillar before. They replace the stock pillar I assume? And I have a black interior ;)
jdmparts_guru Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 i found a tester and will post the results soon!
Sadistic Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 I may be interested, but... How do you install these things:) I've never removed a pillar before. They replace the stock pillar I assume? And I have a black interior ;) Some replace the entire pillar, and some just slip over your factory pillar and stay in place by clips and screws. If these are quality pods, I suggest only buying a full replacement pillar. Usually how it goes, is the 3 pods are full replacements, and the 2 pods are a slip over. I have seen 3 pods that aren't full replacements, and 2 pods that are, so it all depends on the company.
JPI Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 Very very nice....Y'all should jump on these......... www.jpimportz.org
97SC Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 So do we have a confirmation on whether these are pillar replacements on the 2/3 pods or if they're just slip overs? I really don't want to screw anything into my pillar, but... Anyone know?
dewey Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 I am very intersted in buying a couple of these gauge pods. I am doing a t04 on a 92 sc300, and a gte swap in a 97 sc300. Both customers would be very interested. Also to those who think that it may not look appropiate to screw the pod into the pillar on a Lexus. You can always take in to a local interior shop and have the whole pod wrapped in the same material that is on the pillar, making it look like a one piece quality unit. Although i have found it very hard to perfectly match the interior trim on the lexus vehicles.
on_chrome Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks to jdmparts_guru, I just received my gauge pod. Nice product, quick shipment, and easy transaction. It is a slip on, not replacement. I will post pics once I am finished. Thanks a lot.
jdmparts_guru Posted January 27, 2004 Author Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks! I hope that these pics will provide a better answer on all the questions :)
