Eww... I was NOT impressed with them. Took an awful lot of work to get it to fit even halfway decent.bowtiebuba said:

lotek is exactly that LOW-TECH...they suck... you have a 90% chance of them not fitting correctly and looking like shit....
i would ask TTE in the vensor section....roy is awesome.
I had one from tte and was not very impressed. He's a great guy to deal with and more then happy to help out if you are not satisfied, but mine at least was not that good.
my loteck fit fine a buddy of mine has a 1g talon it fit fine but i have heard that they do have some shit pods, but im happy with mine
I have the three gauge pod,and it fit like crap! I had to do some extensive trimming just to get it in!bowtiebuba said:
Wow,
I really appreciate the response.
I was really hoping to go with the lotek, but now must re-think my plan.
They look good in the pictures I have seen but I don't know what the installer went through to install it.
Not familiar with tte but with look for it.
Thanks

You mean on the pillar? You just buy a gauge pod, the gauges slide into it. It's really quite simple - except that making the pod fit into the car without looking like a complete POS is tough, as the pods are usually less than perfect in the fit department.??supra said:i wanna do this. how would you go about mounting the gauges like that?
anyone kno?
ahh i really should have checked after i posted. i wanted to kno how to mount the gauges like becauseican has them mounted. you on the steering column.
Ah, that's more complicated. He built those pods himself - it can be done, but it's not easy or fast. 
Yeah, the one I made for mkii89 was 60mm triple gauge pod. The mold was the 60mm was not very good and that is why it did not come out ok.However I have made a new mold for the 60mm gauge pods and I can guarantee it is far better than my old pods.
As for the 52mm pod I have had no complaints but I have been still making improvements to the mold.
I will post pics of the new 60mm design and ask my customers who have bought the 60mm pod to leave feedack.
Cheers,
Roy

would you kno how some one would go about making them? liike what materials were used?
I would really like to see your pods tte, as there are few choices, and I would like to buy one from someone who really gives a sh-t about how they fit and just about how many they can sell.
Thanks

I'd love to see pics... 'm planning on geting one from you based on my personal experience with lowtech fitting like SHIT
Yes, I've made items like this in the past for speaker enclosures. Generally they are a stretchy fabric pulled tight over a thin wooden frame, then painted with fibreglass resin. You apply a thin layer of bondo overtop of that and sand it smooth, then paint it.??supra said:
