lol not really but w/e. even if you do find a single pod steering wheel piece, odds are youll be out bid by someone else. whenever one pops up on here people go crazy.

i think you guys arent understanding what im trying to do here, i want to go to a website of a legitimate business, not an auction or for sale forums, and purchase it with my c.card. i know that perrin made one before but its not on their new website, thanks anyways

that's because they are not made anymore... which is why everyone goes crazy for one.

perrin's was universal. no legitimate business ever made one, it was custom fab'd by a guy on here and they were sold in a group buy or two i think

id jump all over that, doubt youll ever find a single pod one for sale anytime soon. never seen that dual pod before.Thats because I only made two of them...not sure who has the other one...I also made a couple of singles...They are floating around somewhere....And yes...they are NOT made any longer by anyone, including myself.
i've got one. its nice :P and yep not made anymore
I've got one as well (peep) I picked one up local and apoligize for the thread-jack but I have a quick question ... Does this replace the upper plastic of the column? 'Cause the one I have looks like I could just slip it over.

They were made by protege5online.com several years ago. They stopped producing them shortly there after. The only way to pick one up is to purchase one off a forum member...
That is how I got mine:

if it looks like the one I pictured then you must remove the stock piece first...

'Cause the one I have looks like I could just slip it over.Replaces it.....And usually requires a few dabs of silcone to hold it in place....Mine used an original piece so it fit like it originally did with the exception of the installation procedure.

yeah you take the top piece off and just put the other one on top. you can glue it down, but i just have mine sitting on top. doesn't go anywhere and i make everything in my car slide around in the turns.

Since I've funked up your thread, I thought I'd point you in an additional direction that may be of interest: http://www.alienworx.com/mryellermp5/
Here's a shot of it as it sits in my MSP now, waiting for me to wire up my AEM's. I'm all about going for the semi-stealth m.o. and am avoiding pillar pods ...

Also - here's the mentioned center pod (looks the previous owner used a few strips of velcro to hold things in place.

ForceFed's a busy dude, but he makes quality one-offs ... maybe with enough (poke) and $$$ he could hook you up (I still want a molded, angled triple guage center dash piece with the radio pocket on the bottom lol!)
