I'd like to see them come out with a 3 Guage Pod as a unit, rather than a 2 Guage Pod and a Single one as I have from Autometer. I'm looking for unity w/o the breakups. Reason being, If you are a particular bast--- such as myself, you could notice the slight offset the Single one has, as compared to the Double one. If you line them up respectively, the given pod will not be flush with the A Pilliar.

ok....

jreynish, im told these will hold 52's for sure and 60's if they will fit which alot do but if they do not you will be 1st to know.

Kai, the price range is 39-50 USD

silverrotor, i hear what your saying and lo tek makes dual and thiple, but[and its a big one] the order has to be for one or the other. if some pepl want a triple and some want a dual we need 30 for each to get it done. we could take a poll??

Josepi, i don't know about them i have never owner one, does anyone know how different they are from S4 pillars, this may have to be an 86-88 peice....

okay so by my count[only going by this forum and the one linked] we need 26 more

Hmm - Not much competition in the guage pod business.
$25-$34 for a $2 part?

Let me be clear, Im only in on this if its for an S5. I have nothing against S4's, its just that it wont fit my car. I prefer 2 pod.

Their already made by VDO and look very stock. 2, 3, or 4 if you cram them in. For autobelts you'll need to notch them.

One slight difference, those mount over existing A-pillar plastic, the lotek ones are pre-molded into them...it's a one piece deal.

Atleast that's my working assumption.

We are fortunate not to have those overenthusiastic seat belts. We have belts that are not automatic for the people.

I am in IF and only IF the above statement is correct, and the pods are molded in.
