Pic Request: Dual A-Pillar Mounted Gauges
 
Move if necessary. I just got done searching and couldnt find ne thing. Would be nice of pics from the driver angle. Im wanting to see how much sight they actually take away. POST AWAY!

Tough to see since I took these in my garage, but, IMO, you lose very little sightline. I'm moving mine to a center channel pod as I just don't like the gauges up there.

If you're looking to buy a pod, I'll be selling the pod and the A-pillar cover (already cut for the lines) as soon as I move them.

I would stay away from the dual pod a-pillar if you autox or track because your hand can hit the pod and really upset your line at speed.

here's a link to my cardomain page, I have a few shots of dual a-pillar mounted gauges.

Your absolutely right on this. My case was worst. I broke the pod, the gauges flew on me, and scare the shit out of me as well. Now my boost gauge won't sit in right anymore. fawk

Actually i dont plan on like auto-x or ne thing. I am staying away from the steering column pod and the center speaker pods. I dont like the look of the center speaker pods and i dont want to take away the look of the original guages. Im thinkin a-pillar or DIN.

Thanks! :)

I found the A-Pillar pod got the way when I was tracking...

It was not too bad for street use though, only occasionally banged my hand on it..

I don't think I ever took any pictures while I had it installed, sorry...

I like it, personally.

I tried to switch the boost with coolant temp, but kinda couldn't..cheap gauges, came with the car, but at least they match.

Anyone wanna buy the passenger side A-pillar pod? ^____^

When I get home I'll try to take a few wide angle shots in my car. Should give a better line-of-sight picture.

IMO, it blocks view but only a little. (Nowhere near as bad as the rear-view mirror blocks right hand turns). At first I would bump my hand into the lower pod, but that's very infrequent now.
