is it possible (or does anyone make) to fit a 60mm gauge in a-pillar?
I didn't know if you could just make the whole bigger or not? anyone done this or know where you can buy somthing like this?
Thanks

just sand it untill it fits, you shouldent have to much of a problem.

sand a bit, test, repeat.

dont do too much at one time.

Wouldn't it slightly obstruct your view? I've heard that 52 mm A-pillars get in the way sometimes.

Initially, but you get used to it. And as a FYI, mount the gauge pod(s) as low as you can on the A-pillar. Too high up and you will hit your hand on it. Don't ask me how I know.

Get rid of the gauge pillars. I had the dual gauge pillar with 52mm gauges for 2 years. I fanally put a factory pillar in and changed to 60mm gauges on the ac console. If you still have ac there are a couple of other places to put them but the difference is amazing. I could SEE!

Here are some pics of mine but this one will actually be coming out soon for one of FD3boost's a/c panel blanks. You will have to cut out a small piece of the dash. Don't freak out its just a 1/4 x7" piece.....you'll know I'm talking about when you attempt to put the panel back in because it won't fit.

To each their own, but i have absolutly no problems with my A-pillar pod (blind spot). I have the 60mm HKS in a 52mm pod. I just dont see how it can, maybe if your short and have the seat pulled all the way up front, then your face will be closer to the pod. Im tall so the seat is all the way back, and like mentioned i have no blind spots.
