fc gauge pods

anyone know if there are direct replacement a-pillar gauge pods for the fc? ive seen universal ones, and 'fc' sized ones with double stick tape. but ive also seen ones for the fd where you take out the existing a-pillar plastic and drop in a new piece with the gauge pods built in. anyone seen these for the fc?

I know what you are looking for... but I have never seen one specific yet T_T I would love to do a a-pillar pod array as well.. but this is also a worth a look.

I know it is not what you are looking for but it has a nice fitment (except on RHDs.....)

none that I know of.

I did purchase the one that mazdatrix sells, just to test, and its a simple, easy to install autometer pod, it mounts good, and blends in perfectly with the original black trim pieces.

just buy one that fits then fiberglass it in. Use plastic filler on the whole piece then sand n paint.

you'll have a custom piece that if done properly will look sweet.

RXRacer, you got me all worked up over nothing.

Sadly, in the link you posted - it "covers" the existing A-pillar completely, not a factory replacement. Damnit.

thats what i have. but if you have an S5, like i do, youll need to do a little extra work, since the pods were meant for an S4, and do not fit well with the sliding seatbelt system...

hmmm.. I suspect that it might be impossible unless someone decides to fabricate one from scratch then. Sounds like a project that could be fun. Wonder if there would be a market for one other then just a few of us.
