I received my Speed Of Sound gauge pod last week, and finally had a chance to do the install on Saturday..
The following are my impressions and observations:
Customer Service was outstanding, Alan went out of his way to help me out.. my order had been delayed due to a credit card processing error. Alan rushed my order and made sure I got it before the weekend.
The instructions were through and easy to understand.
The product itself was as good as a factory piece... mainly because it is a modified pillar cover and not a poor attempt to duplicate the pillar cover like most companies attempt.
The mounting is identical to the stock method, since the pillar cover is the actual stock unit with bullet pods attached.
My only gripe is with the top pod..
when installing my boost gauge I choose the top location as the location of the gauge.. after routing all the wires and lines.. making final connections and checking everything over..
I went to install the boost gauge in the top location, but felt some resistance.. as it turns out the hole for the wiring and plastic boost line is much too close to the front of the pod opening. as a result went pushing the gauge into the pod, the boost fine gets crimped and as a result the gauge will not function.
I had to disconnect everything and rewire the electrical connections.. I had to place the boost gauge at the bottom location and my water temp at the top... not my ideal set up.
outside of the one snafu, I am extremely pleased with the product...
I'd also suggest to Alan that he take the factory pillar covers as cores to help reduce the cost..
