Tripple gauge pillar pod

Does anyone know where I could find a triple gauge pillar pod for my S4? I've searched but found nothing, only some that'd fit the FDs.

I was not sure if I should have posted it in the interior section, but I figured out that since it only concerns the second gens...

The single and double pods stack on top of each other to give you a tripple pod. Someone made a "replacement pillar cover" a while back with the pods molded in, but not sure if they still sell them.

I like the VDO pods & gauges over autometer.

A friend of mine have been considering making a replacement pilar with three built into it. Not sure if we will make it in cf or fg but we are working on a mold right now.

Does it have to be on the A-pillar? If not then 5one5 Innovations sells a triple pod that replaces the idiot light cluster. Here is a pic of what it looks like installed in the car. If you are interested in one the just PM me and we can go from there.

Thanks Chris. I'm glad that you liked the pods.

What I didn't mention is that this past weekend I had over 20 people ranging from 110lbs. to 250lbs. put this pod on the ground and stand on it with all their weight. After all that there still isn't so much as a scratch on the gel coat!

Here is a solution to your problem snowball. This is the same car that is in the first picture I posted in this thread. I'm actually moving mine down to where the radio used to be. But in all actuality with 3 or more aftermarket gauges to suppliment the stock gauges, you negate the need for the idiot lights. But it is fairly simple to just move them like I am doing.

Actually those pics he posted up are of my car!!! All you have to do to get the wires done there is remove the glove box and reach up behind the dash, find the wiring harness going to the idiot lights and pull the clip loose that holds it up there. After that it is a stretch to get em to the place where the logicon was, the radio area would be a stretch without rewiring them. It was an easy mod, I just got some plexiglass from the local hardware store and used some tint from autozone and made a cover for the hole left by the logicon, the idiot lights actually fit the bolt holes from the logicon (that's why they are a little up and to the left.).
