What do the RHD 2nd gen guys do for gauge pillars?
 
I'm very surprised that no one offers an A-Pillar gauge pod of any sort for a RHD 2nd gen.

I have the gauges mounted beneath the stereo currently and can't stand the lack of visibility. Even on top of the stereo they are hard to see well.

Looking to house my AEM Wideband and Boost gauges visibility, but don't want to just slam them on the dash in 2 gaudy gauge pods.

Current situation:

1 year bump... :)

Where to find these??

I would suggest looking in a country where RHD is standard...like Japan, for instance.

Japanese styling don't really do gauge pillars, that is generally an american thing.

These cars have roll cages in them though, I suppose that could be why gauge pillars just aren't desired overall.

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks a ton!

Oh come on...I have no doubt there are vending machines that sell a-pillar gauge pods made of preworn panties.
This is Japan were're talking about, after all.

There is someone selling mickey mouse ears for LHD, I would think those are swappable to RHD, but I also might be talking out my ass.

But IIRC RHDJapan.com does sell both gauge pods for idiot cluster and mickey mouse ears, or perhaps Amemiya's website does.

I'm planning on getting a universal gauge pod for RHD ( i think the company name is gloshift) and molding it to the rx7 pillar. If your handy with fiberglass it would not cost that much mainly just time.
