Our vent-mounted gauge pods are perfect for fitting any 52mm or 45mm gauges directly to where your OEM defroster vent is without having to drill any holes in your dashboard or your A pillar! These mounts were created by using a 3D scan of the original dashboard defroster vent, then modeled to accept our 52mm or 45mm removable gauge pods to ensure a direct fit each time. Our pods and mounts are 3D printed using a high quality Nylon-like resin, which is then sanded and painted to provide a near-OEM look.

FAQ:
Q: How do I install this?
A: These are easily installed by removing your OEM dashboard vent. Using trim removal tools are recommended. Once the vent is removed, simply pop the new mount in, then install your gauge with your gauge pod.
Q: Will my gauge fit?
A: If your gauge is a standard 52mm or 45mm diameter gauge, then yes! However, due to slight variances with each manufacturer, you may need to sand down the inside of the pod, or add a non-permanent adhesive such as a thin layer of electrical tape if your particular gauge fits loosely.
Other Information:
Although 3D printing isn't a perfect process, we try our best to ensure that each gauge pod and vent mount are made to the highest quality possible. That being said, you may notice that there are layer lines visible through the painted part. The opening for the gauge pod at the bottom of the pod will also not be perfectly rectangular inside due to the support material that's required when printing these. There may also be left over dimples on parts of the underside of the gauge pod mount and the pod itself. Also, when removing and re-installing the pods from the mount, you may notice that the paint from the gauge pod to the mount may wear down after repeated removals and installations.
Gauge is not included.
