Custom Dash Dual Gauge Pod

[SweetRS]

this thing took me a week to make, luckily i work at body shop and have all the materials i needed... paint/body filler/sand paper

I bought the dash piece from a junk yard for cheap cuz i didnt wanna use the one i had in there already incase i messed it up...

I then bought, Autometer angle rings and glued them to the bezel, filled with body filler, and started sanding away, theres about 5 layers of body filler on there.. and a week worth of sanding (during down time at work lol)....

It came out flawlessly!!

Now just waiting for my gauges

Spiffy!!! I like the color!

[SweetRS]

Thanks! matches the car ;)

Very nice looks great. Great workmanship too. Does this cut out the vent from working though. since you are putting gauges in there do you have that section blocked off cause i would be worried about the heat on the gauges in the winter since almost all gauges are electronic and sustained heat is not good for them while they are in operation.

[SweetRS]

the vent piece was taken out, and yes i will be blocking it off cuz yeah the last thing i need is my gauges and the wiring to melt... lol

[Midon]

If i didn't need those vents I would send you my dash piece and have you do this for me. I wonder if there is a way to move those vent's if so I totally game for this you think 3 gauges would fit there?

[SweetRS]

no it doesnt, thats what i wanted to do, but unfortunetly its off by like a half inch...yeah i might consider doing this for ppl, although, im starting to get busy at work and wont have much time to do it lol...

[SweetRS]

yah...i was upset... ;) but not worth cutting anything else

I just want my dash pieces a different color...

But I'm too chicken to take them out and do it myself...

[SweetRS]

The level of OEM integration and quality is top notch. A great unique mod that will set your Yaris apart for sure. Great job!

Wow, I wish the Yaris had a nice little single din opening like that instead of the PITA opening we have that requires the ugly dash-fillers from METRA or the special double din trim kit.
