That'd be sick as hell. Might be a pain to keep looking up.

Alright, in that case I know the Glowshift pod is ****. Who makes a pod that actually fits well in the car but that's also gray? I don't want a black or CF pillar pod.

How about Glowshift gauges. Their tinted digital gauges look nice. http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/blue-digital-gauges.aspx

I've been reading different threads and I think it's ok to buy a Glowshift boost gauge but as far as the AFR gauge it's best to go with a better brand, right?

In that case, I'll probably buy the Autometter AFR gauge http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugede...earch&gid=3216

How about the last gauge? What are most people looking at on the third gauge?

CreativeCompacts makes a 3 gauge pillar that matches the carpet and the fitment is great.

glowshift gauges are ok, supposely they aren't 100% accurate but they get the job done for what you need just like any other gauge

the autometer A/F gauge you posted does not work because it is a narrow band and you will not get a reading at all, for our cars you will need a wideband A/F gauge that you can buy from autometer or the AEM UEGO which is everyone's choice of A/F gauge due to accurate readings. for those type of gauge you will need to weld a 2nd bung to screw on the gauge probe on your s-pipe after your o2 sensor.

I am selling a 2 gauge pillar pod (its 2 gauges so it doesnt get in the way of your view) - it has a base coat of silver on it and it was ruffed up - ready for a second coat of paint.

no one said you couldn't fit it, the only problem is if the airbags go off, you will have the plastic pillar and gauges flying at you or other occupants of the vehicle.

^ are you sure of that - i think i saw a picture of an airbag that has gone off ...and its above the window ..not in that section of the pillar pod. Only person that would know is someone who has taken the pillar off and seen if there is an airbag under it. I know there is one above the window

Well I have seen an airbag go off, and the pod was forced against the window, the pod shattered and pieces were found over both seats, and the driver did have parts hit him.

How bad do the triple pods obstruct the view?

For anyone that has a triple pod - Does you pillar make it difficult to drive/turn?

I don't want something that going to significantly block my view.

Yeah, that really does help. That's a close up for the gauges anyways. I think I might go for triple pillar.

well I thought the 3rd pod really bothered me so I bought the 2 gauge pod..but also bought the center pod ...which is what i have now ...but now that I have to take it off ...i have a few holes in my dash that im going to have to cover up somehow. thats why i still have it sitting in the garage unmounted - anybody wanting it ...PM me. Its up for a quick sale. I also have other parts for sale ...check my signature below this post.
