I'm pretty sure it will, just make sure the gauges you get are 2 1/16" to match the pod.

My experience is that just about all inexpensive gauge pods need to be shaped into place.

No one listed a pod for the Gen2. I bought this one from another SG member. I painted it with Dupli-color's "interior grey" and attached it with four screws. (The screw heads were also painted the same color). Press it to shape with the bottom edge tucked into the dash. I added three screws on the door side and one on the windshield side. It seems to fit well and look pretty good. Having one made for this car would be better, but if it's somewhat close, you can get it to work.



There was a slight gap, but it left me room to run the gauge "morpher" control cable.

Nice!!!! I like what you did.. i think you bought that guage pod off me. Also just a FYI. the Camry Gauge dual gauge pod fits the Solara. I bought one that was for the camry and i test fitted it and it works fine. Their is a little gap on the bottom curve that you need to flex but nothing a little double sided tape can't handle. Once i get mine completed and installed and ill post pics..

Absolutely! LOL

My car is filled with items I purchased from other members.
- Gauge pod: Indiglosolara (Was originally painted Tan)
- Grille: Sorkang724 (Originally from Michael's Arctic Frost)
- Wheels: BigBodyLx

Great advice on the double sided tape. For gaps that can not be formed into shape, the pod cames with a foam mat cut the same length as the unit. Feel free to cut this mat's thickness as necessary to fill in the gap and give a more finished look. Don't force the shape too much or else you risk cracking the pod.
