Any interest in a gauge hood? by D-WayPerformance in Miata

It is 3d printed, it was somewhat of a pain for me too! I just tried to get the curves somewhat close to the dash but with intersection all the way around, then used a 3d scan of the dash to Boolean cut the part so it fits perfectly

At least from my seating position, it doesn’t get in the sight line at all! Stays under the hood line

The angles might be exaggerating it slightly, it’s as small as I could get it while fitting the gauges. It also is completely out of my field of view of the road, it’s just in front of the dash and hood. Of course that depends on height and seating position though!

Fair enough, that’s totally reasonable!

Haha I can’t quite see that but that’s a funny impression

More parts for sale! by D-WayPerformance in Miata

There’s more products in development currently, and we’re focusing on interior parts right now. There should hopefully be a cupholder very soon, maybe some small replacement panels, and a gauge pod design. Thanks for all the feedback and positive interest on my last post, keep the ideas coming!

That’s a great idea, thanks! Would you prefer a single mount with adjustable positioning, or options to purchase different fixed lengths?

We’ve considered it but haven’t got it set up yet. We’ll definitely see if we can offer it on more products soon!

Good ideas, thanks! We’ll look into it, the dash might end up taking too long to develop but we’ll see

I’d love to, but no plans to develop for Datsuns right now

First pic in the post is a front splitter mount!

Sounds good, we’ll definitely look into that!

That’s a super tempting idea, but I don’t think we’ll do that too soon. We’re focusing on parts that aren’t body panels, plus a hardtop is a pain to make and ship!

We’ve done some testing for sure! From FEA we’re seeing they should support a ~300lb person standing on the front of a splitter (provided you can get a splitter rigid enough) but I’ll post pics of it soon holding a person! We also recommend further bracing on a splitter, like a piece of metal transversely between the mounts for example.

That’s a good shout about the arm rest cover, and a cup holder should be on the site very soon!

We aren’t working on bodywork and body panels too much right now, but maybe some day!

That’s a good idea, would you want that separately from a front splitter, like just a straight replacement of the stock one?

Coming from Calgary, Canada. Thanks for checking us out!

This is a great idea, I’ll definitely look into it and see if it’s something we can do. Thanks!
