Default Guage pod

You don't have to drill the holes and use the pins. I used a strong glue and hot glue and put them together. I then dyed both front pillars to match. The pins are noticable in my friends WRX.

So where did you run your wires thru for the gauges if you didnt drill thru the stock pillar?

The wires should feed up between the pillar and the pod at the top of the dash. Also to reinstall the pillar cover it is easier if you pull the weather strip off and reinstall it once the pillarcover is snaped back in place

What I am wondering is whether or not I read the clock on that track right. Was that a 1/4 mile in 10.7 in a box? Or, was that the 1/8 mi.
