yeh they look pretty easy to make
maybe did it by draping some fleece over 3 rings placed on the vent
and then simply coating it with fiberglass resin
wouldn't need any serious amounts of fiberglass considering its only holding gauges in place

Your best bet is go to a scrapper, and buy the damn center vents for 2 dollars. Pull the slides out and glass it.

Ya it's mine. I bought the gauge dealy on ebay from a guy parting out his car and it was quite the unfinished project. It was just three holes drilled in some shell of an AC vent facing straight up in the air, it was bright white, and there was no way to use it.
I took it to a fiberglass shop with a stock AC vent for reference and a 2 1/16" gauge and had her fill in/redo the holes so they pointed in the right direction and make the hoods that come out with them.
It's an absolute one off custom deal, but it could be easily recreated by someone with a decent amount of fiberglass skill.
Glad to see people like it.
And oh ya, the black fuzzy dice will never die. They were there when I bought the car, and aside from the ebrake handle it's the only thing left that hasn't been changed.

The lack of AC would kill me if it was a daily driver. I drive it to the track, and to car meets and occasionally around town on the weekends. I just a toy for me. I have an IS300 and a Civic Hatch for running around town. And I have to say, my civic hatch is one of the best cars I've ever owned.

There's also a ton of info on probetalk for the meet. There's a link to the thread on the flyrtle website.
