What you guys think about this? It's not as obtrusive as the defi pod and it keeps the sleek factory look. I want to install some STRI gauges and not worry about the defi link meter stuff.

Here's a pic of the STRI gauges.

Heres a cheaper one for the stock look

WRXtra

Or if your up to it https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/p...roducts_id=662 and make your own face, but you have to shave down the plastic to fit some 52mm in. I think the stock size is like 48mm??

Anyway I used to have the stock pod and I enjoyed it very much

Ok, thanks.

If you get STRI's don't get the cheaper X-Lines. I have some, I like them but they are more orange then red. Their more expensive gauges look better.

STRI gauges look great and so do maddad.

the 2nd link is the STRI gauges. the pick looks orange but they match perfectly. great prices too

Those are the one's I'm going to get , the DSD-SLM II amber. This is the place I found the best prices and they will give you a break on a combo and shipping of three or more gauges.

You can save yourself some serious money and just make your own bracket to fit there. All you need is a piece of light gauge steel or aluminum, a 2" hole saw, and IIRC a forester top din setup. I made my own for there when I had my 04 STI.

I thought about doing that but I couldn't tell from the pic where the factory bracket ends and the faceplate ties into it to tell how much a pita it would be to fabricate one that looks good and not ghetto.

Hmm that subaru pod says only for 2002-2005 is that true? Did the clock pod change in 2006?

[helifreak]

Ok, I found some better pics. It looks like it is only a very thin gauge aluminum piece with the 3 holes and a bend at the top but I don't see how it is held in place in the pod.

In 2006 they started to put that Passenger Airbag On/Off light next to the clock.

i love stri gauges. i have them in my car myself... let me know if you want some pictures i can take for you.

[gosu]

do you have the x line ones? I'm about to purchase three of them. I am going to get the smoked lens, amber LED ones. Just as long as them do their job, and look close to the IP its all good

[xhengmanx]

well i purchased 3 gauges myself also and also xline series gauges. i got boost, egt, and oil pressure in a white led with black tints on it. it is also mounted on a cf pod. lmk if oyu guys want pictures

[helifreak]

Ok, I finished my version and added a carbon fiber faceplate to the custom bracket I fabricated to make it look cool. I only have one STRI DSD SLM amber gauge so far but the rest are soon to be ordered. I needed one to trim the factory pod housing with my Dremel to fit the oversize gauges. I got the gauge pod for only $63 from subarugenuineparts.com, wrxextra wanted $120 for their custom version and Scoobytuner $149.95.
