go to a stereo shop and have them custom make a fiberglass gauge pod. they could make it to fit however/wherever you want.

Custom fiberglass is expensive.. Maybe not several 100 but it wouldnt be cheap.. Custom fiber glass than paint.. Will easily be close to 200bucks

^^ Just use a Dremel with a sandpaper bit. You will actually be elongating the hole. The lip needs to be sanded down. Go from the inside using vertical motions around the inner ring until the lip is gone; then elongate the hole. I got my gauges to fit flush....Good luck.

only use a Autometer 3 gauge pod. I have Apexi 60mm and used a dremel and they fit great. Dremel small amounts at a time to you don't make the holes too big.
