Called socaldiesel and he siad he has a plastic prototype he possibly could send me....

He was 2 weeks away from making the aluminum style pods and the price is somewhere between $125 and $200. Tilted 7* up and 15* towards driver. Sounds good, now just waiting for pictures......

Jarod, let me know if you find some extra, I could make it worth your while. Thanks.

For next to nothing except the price of the little wedge auto meter sells, you can make one. All you really need is a flat piece of sheet alluminum to cut out. .050" thick maybe, or around that ball park. Take the pod out and trace out the piece to cut with a band saw. If he doesen't give you one, I wouldn't waste $200 on it. If you make it yourself you'll see how you would have been bent over...

You can get sheets of black ABS plastic at certain mobile electronics shops...I've seen guys at BestBuy use it...
