Default best CF A-pillars?

Who makes the best CF A pillars? preferably with a 3-gauge pod on the driver's side.

I don't want skins, I have those now and they suck -- thanks all

creative compacts is going to be the best 3 gauge pod right now for the tc......is the only one the properly fits good...the angle of the gauges isnt too good but better then buying one that has to be modfied to fit good...

i have the creative compacts a-pillar for the 3 gauges and fitment is alot better than the glowshift but both of them are just covers that go over the factory a-pillar but creative compacts is done with making those.what tc4fun4me is looking for is one that is carbon fiber that is actually the whole a-pillar piece that is real carbon fiber and not the fake printed stuff or atleast an overlay over the gauge pillar.

that's correct.

I might have to buy some new A pillars and have them wrapped, but that is more $$ and I just figured someone made them already. I don't like the seams and how the skins I have keep separating... FTL

wow yes I am wondering how they fit too,looks like they are still covers,but made from real CF at least,I know they redesigned the gauge cluster piece and it actually fits now,so perhaps this one does too.........

I've found it's easier to wrap them then to place overlays on them. Overlays usually require some sort of trimming, and my luck is always trimming too much...

pretty sure those are the skins I have. It says they install with screws or tape.
