Finally, a gauge pod for the Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3 with no drawbacks!

Custom Performance Engineering is very pleased to release what is undoubtedly the ultimate gauge pod for the Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3.

The cp-e™ gauge pod was designed to accommodate three 52mm gauges and look as close to a factory OEM part as possible. They even went so far as to include the OEM Mazda dashboard graining for the ultimate replica. All of the OEM plastic clips and mounting points are retained, so the new pod literally snaps into place where the factory dash panel is removed. To see the underside of this gauge pod, see the picture below. There’s no need to send in and hack up your own dash panel anymore!

The cp-e gauge pod is plastic injection molded, which offers several advantages over the alternatives on the market. First, the molded plastic is incredibly durable under extreme weather conditions. That means direct sunlight or bitter cold will not cause cracking or deformation over time. The plastic is also paintable, and may be trimmed if the end-user would like to install gauges larger than 52mm. The gauge holes are also deep enough to accept gauge retaining brackets or leave room for excess wires.
