I can't tell you how good it is (the creative compacts) but I can tell you I orderd mine on 8-4-06 and was told two weeks ago it would be here in 5-7 days, well two weeks later I'm not getting a reply back on where it is. I've ordered from them before and never had a problem but if you're out of stock say so. I did have to wait almost a month for my short shifter but I knew a head of time cuz everyone was buying them up last year like crazy. This was the only thing keeping me from installing my turbo until I orderd more.

I'm looking for some info about other gauge pods now. I know there's the cc, glowshift $37+shipping on ebay, and www.fastscions.com $75+shipping. The glow shift I haven't really seen and the fastscions I like the angle but it's white and the finished install doesn't look flushed from the pics.

As for gauges I orderd autometer boost/vac, oil psi, and AEM wideband. Autometer gauges have good nice looking cheap gauges and really nice good $$ gauges.

I have the CC pod and dont care for it all that much, matched good but looking at the gauges are kinda a pain in the butt. The gauges are to close together.

Fastscions.com have a awesome one too.

I just got mine from Lotek it looks pretty good (i haven't got it installed yet) it was $92 with their boost gauge and painted grey. It looks a lot like the CC one.

Did you have to wait much? I went to order it from them and called to make sure they had it but it said they were closed thursday-sunday.

Well I got my pod installed, the fit was good I'm a little disipointed at how the gauges angle down slight but other than that I like it.
