They don't tell you anything. Get some Autometer Cobalts. Look the goods. Cheapest place is www.egauges.com . Mine arrived a week after I ordered.Chris

And my choice would also be the autometer cobalts as they are blue and match the interior perfectly! However the FPV Pods are really nice, especially the silver rings which can be seen from the front of the car! Hope this helps~

As for the cheap sh*t getting around with the studs showing, I dont think so. After seeing the colbalt gauges as you guys mentioned I dont give a f*ck about the FPV exacts. Just want the proper pods and perfect base to fit straight in to my turbo dash. Adam, where the f*ck do I get these for $250. Apparantly ebay is a f*ckn rip off.....had way too much slops tonight I'm goin to bed. Have a good good one chaps

Also if the FPV vehicle did not have it listed as an option initially (BA GT series 1) you cannot order it. I got mine through one of our fellow Typhoon owners so thanks champ - Canadian Clubs on its way. Now I just need to get some Autometer Cobalts to fill them up!The cost was $220 and these are the part numbers:Panel gauge mounting BA2TF04428A x 1Bezel inst cluster BA2T10876A x 2Housing gauge unit BA2T9H273A x 2Screw inst cluster BA2T10S849A x 2I tried Ebay a few times but when the pods hit $450 I gave up. No way they are worth that. But the quality is as good as people say.So good luck. Edited 28/05/06 12:42 AM by XR6T4ME
