Im not sure yet. Moulding them is easy but its the triming that takes ages. Its hard to.trim them to get a perfect fit. If you are willing to trim/cut them out and paint yourself I will mould heaps and sell them for say $40 each plus postage.

And if that's the case and I make a lot more, I will need some time because I would want to make a new mould from steel.

I plan on mounting the gauges with there U clamp and then using a piece of thin steel flat bar bolted to the clamps and bent into position. I will take heaps of pics when i install mine.

Here is the first one finished and fitted. It turned out ok but not entirly happy with the position. They need to be lower and the curve isnt perfect. but i think its ok given its a home job and first attempt at plastic moulding.

I will make another mould from steel in a few weeks, and get it perfect.

Looks good. Agreed ideally you would have them sit more vertical. I am very interested in the final product once you get it right. And as Dale said i m ok with doing the trim work and painting.

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
