Default CreativeCompacts.Com 3 Gauge Pillar Pod - INSTOCK

At this time our company has finished the Mockup of the 2 Gauge Pillar Pod. We are still looking to ONLY do a 3 Gauge pillar pod but wanted to test to see how a 2 gauge would look. At this time I am still not considering a 2 pillar pod option and sticking with the 3 gauge.

Here is images of our mockup, both installed and out the car next to a stock pillar. Please be advised this is a MOCKUP which means it is not painted, it does not have the holes drilled or anything. This is simply to assist us in making the final mold. We should have pricing and release date within the next 30 days.

For those of you wanting to know about install... The switching of the pods took less then 2 min to complete... VERY EASY

Thanks
James

i'd say go with the two pod system. They're placed very low which i REALLY like. They look like they're tilted down a bit, look kinda droopy. Maybe tilt them up a little? So that they are parallel with the dash.

Bumpin this up. Looks good - Im definitely down for a triple pillar. Any chance of it being covered in fabric like the stock one? What kinda price you expecting?

It looks right at home there in the pillar. Got job you guys! Can't wait to see the final product.

There is one question though...is the final product going to be wrapped in the OEM material to match...or will it be in raw form, simliar to that of say...AutoMeter Pods?

BigKid - I see you got the Finish now too huh? Ive got them too but Im running a little bigger tire, do you rub with those s-techs?

Also, I think I read somewhere this pillar will be painted to match but no fabric. BUMMER!

Found that... was aiming at $59

its hard enough to look around thos pillars now putting pods in there are only going to make it worse...


no pods for me IMO.

i like the 3 gauge pod. if there is a way for it to coexist with the side airbags, id be down... im gonna end up mounting 5 gauges in my car so (3) on the a pillar and (2) above the steering wheel column, and im set.

I think someone should make a kit for some small gauges to fit into the cubby hole in the console. I think it would be more discreet, clean and less of a distraction which in turn makes it safer. But in my honest opinion, this two gauge pod is very attractive, I think a 3 gauge pod would just be too busy and hamper the vision unless they were recessed into the piller a bit.
