Our Story
Gauge pod makers since 1985
Custom-fit, vehicle-specific gauge pods, made to order, one at a time, in the USA. We've been doing it since before it was an industry.
It started with a Turbo Buick
GaugePods began in 1985 as Lo-Tek Incorporated, founded by a small group of automotive enthusiasts with a simple problem: there was nowhere clean to mount gauges in the newly intercooled Turbo Buick. So they built one. That first A-pillar gauge pod became the most popular accessory of its kind and helped launch an entire category of aftermarket gauge-mounting solutions. Decades later, we still build them the same way, molded to fit one specific vehicle, not shimmed into place like a universal bracket.
Everything made in-house
Our own mold-making and finishing shop lets us control quality from start to finish, and because we've made everything in-house from day one, we keep our pricing fair. It also means we can do what the big, high-volume manufacturers won't: short-run and fully custom work.
Because we build to order, we can handle almost any request. Want a 60mm gauge on the bottom and a 2-1/16" up top? Done. Need an undrilled pod to mount a nitrous arming switch? No problem. An odd color to match your interior? Send us the code. Every pod is molded from durable, paintable ABS, and most orders ship in 5-10 business days.
Where the name came from: "Lo-Tek" was a nod to the LoTeks in William Gibson's short story "Johnny Mnemonic," a crew of outsiders who bent technology to their own ends. Felt about right for a shop built on doing things its own way.
