I emailed Gaugepods.com about the triple pod and when new ones would be available.. this is what I heard back.

Just order online at www.gaugepods.com. We have about 5 Volvo triples left
before a new production run is made.

Now you can make that 4 pods left.

Grand total, unainted in Black; $50.88. Shipped.

So, if you missed out on the earlier GB... now's your chance.

That's cheaper than the GB price

I guess now that they made them they don't expect to get that much for em

Chris,
Use a medium grit snadpaper, maybe 400 or so... rough ALL of the surfaces up... (BY HAND) then, clean off the pod with some denatured alcohol, then use a grey primer for good adhesion, then what you're going to want to do.. it buy some (a few at least) different color Tan (i think your interior is tan) colored spraypaints and paint the backside of the pod with a bit from all the cans you got... then when it dries, match it up to your dashboard or whatever, and see which one matches the best... then voila, paint the rest of the pod.

whew! I'm sure glas my interior is charcoal!

post pics for everyone to see!

Ugh...doesn't that block you view slightly? especially with 3 pods? I think I'd rather just hide them in vents....

umm.. not reallly

where you sit, you see past the pod anyways, and its in the corner.. the only thing it blocks is partially my view of the front speaker..

unless your a midget and can barely see over the wheel.

Lax, I sit pretty far back, and leaned a bit to the right. (back troubles) so it won't get in my way at all.

The main reason to have them there is so you can just glance over to the left and check gauages, not have to look down at all.

Still got some of these left I see, but what does the 3-pod look like? Could I cut it down to 2? I just don't think I want to wear so many gauges on my face...

Thanks
