Huh? I did not know Galeforce made a center console mount. I don't think that's correct. He makes a driver side A-pillar mount.

I have GaleForce's driver side A-pillar with a single gauge pod and the fitment is perfect

Hey, I'm sorry about taking so long to reply to this thread. I thought I would be notified if anyone replied, so I just kind of forgot about it when I got wrapped up in other parts of life. I will try to get the pictures straightened out. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah, he does have one, though it's definitely not as popular as the pillar mounts. You can find it buried in his facebook pictures:

I'm getting ready to post mine in the classifieds.

I searched around for awhile trying to find an answer to that question before trying this project, and I found nothing. After searching through tons of pictures of pods, I just ordered the cheapest thing I could find so that I could tear it apart without worrying too much about screwing up.

I'm going to give this a shot in the next few weeks following this DIY. Wish me luck...

Also, does anyone recommend a universal gauge pod brand?

I only just saw this, but I couldn't have recommended any universal gauge pod over another anyway. I do not understand why there are absolutely no options made specifically for 370Z's. I used to be into S2000's, and you can get full trim replacement pods for cheap on ebay! Those cars do not get boosted near as often as Z's, so I don't understand the market forces at play here.

I thought the same thing! I'll have to post my pictures here soon of my finished setup. I enjoyed the process. Also, saving a few hundred bucks is nice too
