Title: RotaryArt Carbon dash pods
Post by: zizther on April 17, 2011, 12:30:46 AM
Has anyone got a RotaryArt Carbon dash pod?
Interested in getting one, would be good to get feedback on them, as well as knowing if the 2 or 3 pod would be best.

I had the quad version and just to get them fit i had to dremel the gauge holes, then when it came to fitting to the dash they were no where near right. So in the end i had to take them out.
 
Not sure if this is the same with 2 or 3 versions.

So not the best fit then, are there other gauge pods that you would recommend, i know of tripod and FEED.

I know some are not so good, like melting when in hot weather.

There is also the Auto-tech Interiors (ATI) centre speaker grille pod.

Not to everyone\'s taste, but quite practical as the pods swivel and will take either 52mm or 60mm gauges.

I know the twin rotorpod fits perfectly and the gauges are faceing straight at you..... reason I know, I designed them and have the fist one made in my car ;) LOL and they take 52 or 60mm gauges ;)
