Defrost gauge pod

I have been trying to find one of these for our cars but have yet to have any luck. I have had friends that have them in their MS3's and they look amazing. Just looking to see if anyone makes these or someone that can make them or a how to. Below is a link to show what I am talking about.

In the 3 years on the forum, I haven't seen anything like this for the Evo.

Is that gauge pod....... appealing to you?

Haha it does appeal to me. I currently have the steering column gauge set up and it isnt a bad location besides the fuel gauge issue. I had the radio gauge panel before and didnt care for that set up. So I was just curious on if there was one for the defrost vent. Next step might have to be the A pillar or make one myself.

Better than cutting up the A-pilar I guess.

ive seen something like that for the X's but it was a much smaller digital setup, not your standard round guages.
when i read the title for this thread i thought you somehow routed a defroster into your guages so they dont get foggy. my stock mr guages fog up in the morning all the time.

I feel like that would be super easy to make...I made my own steering wheel mounted pod, and doing a stacked gauge setup like that doesn't seem like much more work. You'd probably have to drill it into the dash or velcro it though, I don't have the ability to construct something that would snap in there and stand on its own...maybe I'll make this my next weekend project...I've never seen anything like that. Very different.
