    I'm looking for these.

    Can anyone identify/point me in the right direction? I'm not seeing them on Summit.

    You can make your own using 2" PVC pipe, perhaps a little fiberglass to mold multiples together (or just a little epoxy), cover the other end, and paint black.

    Hrmmm... i'll file that away for future reference, thanks!

    I'm not very DIY for this particular car, though... just trying to find something that actually sits on my dash right to avoid going A-pillar for this car. (Already have a big blind spot there, would rather not make it worse.)

    Hrmm... not too bad. Little worried that my dash might be a bit too curved, though, which is why i was trying to find individual cups.

    That might be worth taking a gamble on, though, thanks!

    This is what i used to have. They were way too high. I would like something in that same location, but not way up in the air blocking my view. Currently i'm rocking a universal hooded 3 gauge dash pod, but it doesn't even come close to fitting on the dash right, and it sucks pretty bad. Would like individuals that sit right on the dash like the RX7 above. The dash is already pretty high to start with, and it's one big curve over the factory gauge cluster to the passenger side.

    sadly, not cf. in the description it says made of fiberglass with black backing.
    bit expensive but REALLY good looking solution

    I've never seen individual cups that mount flush like that. If it were me, I'd just cut the bases off some cheap cups, attach them together somehow, and then attach the whole thing to the dash (sheet metal screws if you don't care about the dash, velcro or some other non-destructive way if you do).
