Default dual gauge pod

does anyone know of a dual gauge pod for the a pillar? i've only seen creative compacts 3 gauge pillar and a carbon fiber dual pod that costs a fortune. The only reason why i dont like the creative compacts as much is that 3 gauges looks like a lil over kill if you ask me. Im looking for something more discreet and simple. ANY IDEAS??? oh yea and not that huge beast either that sits on the dash.

not to jack the thread...

I have side air bags and I have noticed the SRS sticker on the top of the pillar. I want to replace the pillar with one that holds two gauges.... will the aide air bag interfere or cannot (should) I not replace the pillar?

That carbon trix pillar looks nice, but it is a bit pricey... [/i]

I think ZPI has an awesome one that goes over the Overhead lights/sunroof controls. you still retain sunroof control and lights, it just mounts the guages up there. Check with ScionDad, he hsa it, and it's pretty slick.

Most definitely do not replace the the apillar if you have SRS, unless you professionally have that airbag disabled. If that airbag goes off with that pillar/guages, you're likely to be sporting a dual guage pod/AF ratio guage on the side of your head

it looks kinda nice....i never knew the lights would still be functional. looks like it was covered up. i think i'd still wait on the autometer dual gauge pod though once anyone can find a shop that has it

Only bad part is if you want one it will cost you 300 bucks. Right now they have to be custom made but they did say they hope to mass produce them in the future.
