Rexpeed Carbon Double Pod

Does anyone know if this works with the Ralliart?

I've never ordered from Rexpeed and they haven't answered my email...

http://www.rexpeed.net/new2007/produ...php?serial=233

I assume it does...I'm going to be getting the AEM UEGO and Boost Gauge shortly so I need some kind of double pod system.

Please let me know your feedback with this item/Rexpeed if you have any.

Thanks!

Could go a less expensive route like I did:


Pods cost $23/each and I used 3M clear double sided tape.

Omegis....nice! I might go that route. I live in Canada though so I don't know how much the shipping will be with Amazon.

I might still go with the Rexpeed to not block the other gauges so much. I like how the Rexpeed is in the middle more and at the end of the day, it's not that much more. Plus it's carbon fiber...shouldn't that make my car way lighter??? hahahaha...

Ya, I looked at some of the pre-made steering wheel pods for a while.

Actually, I also thought about going the A-pillar route too.

I chose those pod locations b/c idc about <2k RPM and I don't see 120+ mph very often LOL

I have the Perrin steering column pod and I think it's the cleanest one out there. It does give it a cool air-craft cockpit look

how much it blocks of the display is also dependant on your height (since our wheels have limited adjustability). Luckily I found a reasonably comfortable position with them.

It takes a while to get used to. At first I almost regretted installing them, but after a while I got used to it and I don't think I'd want to give up the information they give. Overall I'm happy with it, because I think the A-Pillar just looks ricey

That's why I didn't go with the a-pillar look.

Yes I have it too..

Does it work? Yes/ No... It does go on top of your steering wheel cover.. No, it is not even close to a perfect fit. The sides do not match up perfectly at all..

Also, the holes for the gauges are much too small to fit any AEM digital gauge products. I personally had to resize and carve out part of the pod to fit my gauges in..

Thanks for all the advice/info everyone.

I think I will most definitely go with the Perrin. It has a clean look, I doesn't block the gauges where I need to see them (mostly highway driving).

It's cheaper than the Rexpeed and obviously the Rexpeed has fitment issues which I really don't want to deal with to be honest.
