I wonder if this will fit on a MKIV supra or not? And these are for the 60mm gauges right?

can you get a picture of it up on a sc behind the mirror? i have been thinking about picking 1 up but am not sure on the fitment. i am interested if you could do that for me. and also, do you know how much wider the 4 pod is compared to the 3 for the gm models? i understand from your pictures this is designed for a ford.

yeah I can take a pic tomorrow
there was a member on here a while back that had a 3 gauge pod, and if I remember from his pics, I doubt 4 gauge pod would fit
(edit, ok I think the 4 could fit if you cut off the sides where it tapers down)

that member that had the overhead pod that ive seen before had it custom made for his sc. i was planning on getting a quad pod from the gm models when i get back from iraq and modify that. but a 3 guage wouldnt be bad. if not, i can always resell it later after i make it fit. haha ill be waiting for the pics. thanks

ok, pics as promised

I was planning to dremel/cut away the blue outlined section (and maybe and 1" of the rear of the unti to bring it close toward the glass as well), which would bring the unit close to the headliner and overhead light/switches. juding by the test fitting, once it's cut away the guage holer will be close enough to the headliner to away it to clear the rear view mirror. The other option was to mount this unit inside of the top of the glove compartment, which would still leave space underneath for misc stuff

without cutting it I'm not 100% sure, but I think it should, cause the top "pocket" will be removed away as well. which should raise the unit over an inch closer to the ceiling

or you could possibly lower the rear view mirror some to get it against the windshield and headliner, like the 1st pic..

looks like he lowered his... I could be wrong..

the first pic is in a 3/4 ton or 1 ton ford truck, so their mirrors naturally sit lower like that.
sending you a pm Greg.
