Gaugepods.com

Ordered an A pillar gauge from www.gaugepods.com a few days back. $20, couldnt beat the price! It holds 2 1/16" gauges as per email from them. Looks cheap, it is only part of the A pillar, and the fitment is... somewhat bulbous? then again, what can you expect for 20$

Pics in a few.

So send that pic to them and see.

Notice the slight bend outwards where the actual pods are.

Looking down at the pods:

There is about an 1/8th inch gap where the pods are, top and bottom. nothing big, but it will irk me...

I dunno, but I seem to recall reading something about modifying a 2nd gen pillar pod with a hear gun to make it fit.

Just take a heat gun and you can mold it to the pilar.

This works. Just don't let the heat gun sit in one spot for more than a couple of seconds or it starts to blister the surface of the plastic really fast.
I've done it twice. They came out alright.
I ended up trimming the edges with a dremel and a stone wheel after molding it down to the pillar.

Heat gun and 2nd gen pods will work. When you wire your's in, you will appreciate the bulbous ends more than the straight ones.

why not buy the whole pillar pod? It is a direct replacement for the a pillar trim. Then it won't have that add on look.

Granted it is a little more money, but looks a hell of a lot better. Mine was not installed yet, and is pretty dirty, but it looks good now with the gauges in it, and it is all cleaned up.
