You know the ones from Ebay. Are they any good?

here is my setup

passenger view

i bought the gauge pod off of ebay for 20 bucks, then painted it flat black. to angle the gauges towards me i bought angle rings from summit racing for 8 bucks. to hold the whole assembly in i jb welded some studs to the back and use washers and nuts to clamp it to the dash. works great, easy to do, and different that the normal a-pillar pods alot of people run

i just took a sheet of dry carbon and cut a rectangle, then holesaw'd the holes, and then used the bench grinder to "slowly ween" it to fit perfect in the dash... then i used black gum to stick the bottom and it sits perfect.
