GS300 GS400 GS430 Aristo Gauge Pod Driver Vent


Looking to upgrade your GS or Aristo? This custom 3D printed part goes in the driver hvac vent to run a single 52mm gauge. The gauge pod is pointed straight ahead for easy viewing. No cutting or drilling is required for gauge pod installation and is a direct replacement for the front of the driver vent. This will work on any second generation GS300 98-05, GS400 98-00,GS430 01-05, Aristo 98-05 it won’t work on any other car.

This is a raw 3D printed part you will see small lines leftover from manufacturing. My equipment and material produce a part that looks like a factory piece. I prefer the 3D printed look but the part can be sanded and painted to your preference. 


Installation is simple. You remove the front of the vent trim and take apart the back of the vent and replace the front with this. You reuse the top fin, bottom fin and one side trim piece(you won't see this until you take it apart).  I was able to get the front vent trim off without removing the dashboard. You can get the front of the vent off with trim removal tools. I also removed a few of the lower dash panels to make it easier. No cutting or modifications are required to install. 


I designed this with a 52.5mm hole for the gauge. Not all gauges are 52mm be sure to test fit your gauge DO NOT JUST PRESS IT IN. If you feel heavy resistance inserting the gauge, the design will need sanding or you have a gauge larger than 52mm. My gauge pod designs are meant to fit snugly so you don't have any rattles or noises. Inexpensive gauges are either larger or smaller than 52mm. If your gauge is loose add a layer of tape until it fits.

Do you sell files?

Ebay is a platform for selling physical items. While many 3D designs are shared or sold on file sharing sites I only sell finished prints.  All listings in my shop are original designs and are not available on any file sharing platforms. I encourage anyone with a 3D printer to learn how to 3D design.


Disclaimer: This listing is only for the 3D printed part. It doesn't come with the gauges or any interior trim. This design only works on the second generation GS300 98-05, GS400 98-00, GS430 01-05, Aristo 98-05; it won't work on any other car.


Welcome to Driven2Print! I’m a Chicago based gearhead with a passion for 3D printing. I have 15+ years of professional experience in the printing and design industry. I use commercial grade printing equipment and high-quality materials for all my parts.


Every item in my shop is a custom part that takes many hours and revisions to develop. All of my designs start with OEM parts to create the best possible fitment. I take the time to measure, design, revise, test, and generally obsess to make sure that it fits like it came from the factory. I focus on quality. If I wouldn’t put it in my own car, I won’t sell it.


Just like with many aftermarket automotive products there are many cheaper imitations. Lower-priced listings are out there that are similar to my products. Some are exact copies of my own designs and photos. But they’re cheaper for a reason - they aren’t made with high-quality materials, they won’t fit as well, and they won’t hold up. Buy with confidence from my shop.
