Default DIY Boost Gauge Vent Pod

so - I wanted a vent pod but I did not want to simply drill out my existing fan vent like I did on my sedan.
So I said to myself, "Brr... you can make the same thing APR sells for about 10 bucks."

And so I did... It's just a little heavier...
It's not perfect yet - but I will make it perfect when I get back from vacation. And to think APR sells this pod for like 100 bucks???M

yeah its just the simple mechanical vdo gauge. Thought about an electronic Omori, but they are big $$, and I am not going to spend any more cash on my car. I have a new project in the planning stages.

thanks guys. I try to do things myself. I hate the thought of paying outrageous amounts of money to get something I can build myself.
So I guess its just practice when it comes to the bondoing, skidplatexa4... and patience.
