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.

 

Hurry with those pics! Ive been looking for one!

Go figure the 84-85 is more money lol, but You will get a discount if you take a pic and they use it for thier site.

So send that pic to them and see.

 

Check back here in like, 10 minutes. have to find the camera and mem card./

 

top looking down:



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 had one but i sold it to another member. It irked me too

 

I wonder where Directfreak got his, that guy has like a billion gauges!

 

Just installed mine last week, I'll try go get installed pics up tomorrow, but yeah, it is a bit cheap, but it works I suppose...

 

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.

 

where can I get this "heat gun"? Home Depot/ autozone?


could it also keep me warm in the winters? lol

 

No, but could be used as a hair dryer if you are in a tight spot lol

 

Post again, sorry, but your car needs more work before you add that pod. Cancer is eating her alive!

 

Yeah, I am looking for a roller near me

oh, and you SO dont want to see the trunk area... lol

 

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.
