I am getting my A-Pillar Gauge Pod tomorrow! I would like anyone to help me with a decision...paint it blue or paint it black, I would probably do the rest of the stock pillars to match. here's a pic of what I got so far...

Black. As it is, the blue is too splattered and spotty.

Why not try to match the color that is on the A pillar already and make it look like it came that way. Make the face of the gauges blue.

Stick with the black. Blue looks to much like a toy car interior.

ditto to that. black or blue would look out of place on the A-pillar

Maybe I should have noted I'm doing the whole interior either blue & white or black & blue, hehe, oops! As to ghstman, I'm kinda going for the toy car interior thing, alot of show cars have very colorful interiors and I plan on sticking with the blue scheme. And as for the splattered and spotty comment...well it's just a start, hopefully after some more mods and money it'll be mostly blue with either black or gloss white trim. :\ I'll post pics of how it looks when I'm done, I think I'm gonna go with the blue cuz that's what the roof liner is going to be

If you can get your blue to glow with a UV light now we are talking that would be sic...

Just out of curiosity, are you moving the guages behind the wheel to the A-pillar, or are you adding ADDITIONAL guages? If so, are you turbocharged? :)

no turbo...yet...thinking since the oil pressure gauge is gonna (I think, require drilling into the block, I'll just set it there for looks so there's no gaping hole, but hopefully I'll turbo it up sometime when I can afford it. Just got my box 5-6 months ago, and don't have a good amount of income but I'm expecting my Injen short ram intake soon, and will be ordering my Greddy Evo 2 exhaust after this next check...if anyone's got Audio or A/V work for me I can do it!!!!

Or just use the factory location and eliminate the idiot light sender all together unless it will cause the computer to throw a code. Not sure bout that.
