That looks really good and that fact it comes with any guyages you want for the price it is, it sounds like a good deal.

My only concern is the quality of the fit and color. I think everyone has the beige color on the pillars and the roof.

I'd also be concerned with how it works if you have side impact airbags. Would the airbag just blow that thing in your face?

Other then that it seems pretty cool and like a pretty good deal. But you never no with stuff on ebay. Like those projectors, one of the mounting holes doesn't line up right and the cutoff is crazy looking.

Glowshift gauges are pretty nice, if thats actually the ones it comes with. But the fitment of the pods are questinable.

My cousin works for Toyota as a mechanic and he had a tC come in from a kid who used dry wall screws to put his gauges in his a pillar. Well he went right into the air bag and it exploded.

I would recommend doing a different location for gauges if you have the side curtain airbags in your ride.

uhh.. the air bag is a curtain above your window mostly... only part of it barely comes down into the a-pillar itself...

there are people already who has had no problem installing a-pillar gauge pods with side airbags.

The dude screwed into the top piece, and went up towards the air bag, or air bag sensor which set it off. I forgot what my cousin told me, but it was the joke at the garage for a while.
