Noticed they make one for our cars, I was happy with their quality for my DSM. Does anybody have it? Its cheap and in my price range.

Looks like they also have a color match option from the drop down for extra 7 bucks. Someone should buy it and see how it looks/fits .

I'm pretty sure LoTeks is a replacement A-pillar, while CC fits over the existing A-pillar

Thats why I want to know if anybody has one. I know about the CC one.

My previous Lotek pod fit perfect and fit over the pillar. They also have the gray option.

I have the CC one and love it. BUT, I wish it was a replacment. The holes that need to be drilled make it non usable if the guages are ever removed. And it fits very good, but there is alittle of the old showing at the top. Color is perfect, and people who dont know the car think its stock.

As far as the one pictured, I think black would look really out of place.

I was hoping for a full replacement, I hate seeing srew caps, and it is a pita to get off.

Good luck with the install, you have to push hard on the bottom to get it in right.
