Thread: FG cluster gauge hood

  1. #1

    Default FG cluster gauge hood

    i'm working on a hood for my car, for sakes of adding some custom art to it, in the way of making it i made a mold for the original. I'm focusing more on the mold since i can pop them out in a matter of minutes. anyhow any comments appreciated, here is a preview.

    i was thinking of using a skull design as the whole hood thing but should i make it stock for those who need a replacement?

    If you're gonna produce a few, find a way to integrate two aftermarket gauges. (On the same side, please.) Would be viewable outside the rim of the wheel like the a-pillar mount but closer to straight ahead.

    I'm thinkin' there's a market. If I can't get a cut for the idea, I'll settle for a big discount!

    You know I need a hood, or maybe you could fix mine with fiberglass on the back side??

    lol... can you draw a pic of it? lol... actually that is another idea i had, but being in the center would look a bit
    too odd IMO, my idea has the gauges leaned to the right side but since i'm having my gauges in my radio bezzel
    i'll lhave to be carefull not to go over that area. I'm assuming you are using the 2/16 diameter gauges? That is a
    really great idea because routing your vacum line or A/F line could easily be installed by removing your gauge hood.

    or i could make a dual gauge pod holder that can be mounted in that area so you can just mend it to your existing hood instead
    of replacing the whole thing. I'll have an update by next week. I'm pulling the first plug out by then.
