Who makes a decent pillar pod?

Looking for a complete pillar pod that houses 2 gauges, don't want anything too cheap looking. Any ideas?

Thanks

Greg Doyle

If you are talking about an FD, Autometer makes a full pillar replacement with two or three gauges.

I third Autometer. I'm getting some Defi gauges and ordered a dual gauge pod yesterday for $28. There's also this center channel mounted pod which looks OEM but it costs $100!

Frank, how come you don't make a dual 52mm pod? I don't have a need for so many gauges and would have gladly bought one of yours if you made one built for two.

There's one already in the market and I haven't spent the time on R&D yet. Someday though.

Damn, you guys DO pay attention

I'm a little behind right now so the GB might have to be around Valentines day now. Still a good excuse to have your significant other foot the bill

Autometer makes a very good pod... they're gauges, er, ok, but damn good A pillar replacement.

With respect to the A-Pillar pod I must agree, but with the center pod, Frank's blows the competiton out of the water... his looks so much more integrated, posibly due to the fact that it holds 3 gauges, which most center pods do, and the texture from the autometer center pod, matches .... nothing....

Anyhow, I'm sold Frank, I just would like to get in on a group buy to lessen the burdon of $100.00. Since my GF buying me anything "Car" related for valentines, wouls spark somewhat along the lines of, "Well, if you love that car that much, how come you don't seep with it, and how about it, doing your laundy, and why doesn't IT get you the pod for valentines day.." so good idea Frank, but not quite thought trough !

good one D.

BTW, my reference was to the A Pillar gauge pods. I have no experience with a center pod by Autometer.

I hear great things about Franks center gauge pod. I currently don't have a need for three gauges. I do, It'll definitely be the one I get.
