Custom Dual Pod Gauge Bezel Dash Cluster!!

[TRC-SS]

Ok met with they today and they got to see the prototype actually in a vehicle.

They are going to make a few changes to the pod.
1-The pods them selves will be shorter and with be raised in the front by half an inch.
2-They are going to sand the bezel a a bit more smoother than last model.

3- They will be adding clear coat to the whole bezel for a better match to the rest of the car.

I gave them my factory instrument cluster to save time to get the process going and for a new mold to be made for those guys that have an order in place.

Stay tuned

I'm thinking about getting this. I'm debating between this and the Baron concepts pod.

Haven't seen that one yet.

But hold off on this until I get the final product back. Then I can give my thumbs up on it.

I am waiting on you too. If it does cut off to much of the gas and water gauge and not insanely high I might have to buy one.

Well that part I know already. The pod is in my car now. (prototype)

From the drivers seat the Fuel gauge and the temp gauge are obstructed. The fuel you can see from 3/4 down to E (cannot see Full) and the temp about normal op temp to HoT. (cannot see cold)

So you never need to see if your car is full, really important to see running low on fuel, which is in plain view. And you only need to see normal temp to Hot to make sure its not over heating, and thats plain view.

On the speedometer, you lose below 30mph and on the tach you lose RMPs over 7500, (which your motor would go boom if you hit that anyway)






Now keep in mind this is the prototype. The actual pod is going to be changed a bit. Obviously angled up a bit more, but shortened as well. so this view could change.

But this give you an idea.

I like the idea, but don't like how it blocks the gauges.

Can't wait to see the final product. I usually use the digital speedo anyway. And I don't need my car revving to 7500 lol. With the S/C I can't drive in the winter anyway so the cold thing isn't an issue. I like it but I can see why others wouldn't. Excited to see where this goes

Yea exactly the same here.

I also have HUD. So the tach and speedo is on that. never look at the actual gauges. Shift points are always by sound not looking at tach.

We have some on order with them. Here is a pic they sent me last night. They gave me an ETA of 1 more week from an order placed on April 11th. They mentioned they had been working out a couple of fitment issues, but they have it set now like it needs to be.

Yea thats my Car

I brought it to them to get the fitment perfect for everyone else that orders.

They didn't have a test car, so it was me.

I have a ton of photos of this pod, but i didn't post them cause once they are here they get tagged as ortiz pods on google and people will see the angle issue right away. I want to make sure they are the correct photos for them.

As long as people view this realize its a work in progress, we are good!

*********This photo is the prototype pod, not the new correct one.

[TRC-SS]

This is how much the new pod will come up in angle

+1 to Ortiz Custom for the sexiest gauge pod for the Camaro. I can't wait

I can't wait for this. Not sure what I'll put for gauges but I'll worry about this later.
