Center Triple Gauge Pod

Has anyone fabricated a center dash triple pod like the below from Autometer for 11+? I don't like the a killer versions nor the 2012 LS version. Thinking of buying a Autometer and seeing if I can mod it.

I kept it simple with an Aeroforce Interceptor gauge and Roush gauge pod.

I put in the LS pod and it was super stressful. I was making myself sick cutting into the dash.

The one in your picture is a Shelby part. It uses 2 ⅝ instead of 2 ¼. If you see one in person, look for the cable that comes out of the back edge closest to the window. It looks like you don't have to drill a hole for that pod.
 
I don't think I would buy the Shelby version as it will probably be overpriced. I was looking at the Autometer version that takes 2-1/16". http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001AIO71E/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1429390404&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=autometer+triple+gauge+kit&dpPl=1&dpID=41DIZDcmaQL&ref=plSrch

I just don't know how much modification it will take to convert to the 11+ dash. For $120 I might just try.

Thanks. That's for 05-09 but I think they have 11+ as well. Don't like it as much as the Autometer version.

Your right, my mistake. Not left with much for the middle of the dash. I used Ford Racing LS pod. was a easy install. Not every one likes it or wants to put a hole in the dash.

I swallowed hard too. I had to tell myself, its just a dash pad. it wasn't nearly as bad in real life as it was in my mind. Glad I did. Am very happy with the end results. Looks good, and its so much better knowing what the oil pressure and temperature are actually doing.
 
Yeah I'm just not a fan of the LS pod. I need to buy the autometer 05-09 version and see what the difference in the dash is and see if I can modify it to fit my '13.

OR... anyone know where to buy material that would give the same color and texture as the dash pad? Then I can just make one.
