A-pillar Gauge Pods

[shinamura]

I currently have a cheap Sun-pro dual gauge A-pillar pod set up from Pep-boys that my mechanic helped me install, but it wasn't a good flush fit at all. i have it on there simply because it is holding one gauge in there currently, but what kind of a-pillar pods do you guys have, and where can I get a good one that will sit flush against our A-pillars? mine looks horrible, and does not really fit, as I said, only using it currently for functionality than looks

Side Curtain Airbags + Pillar Pods = Bad Situation

Do yourself a favor n pick up a steering column pod from Podi or a vent pod from one of the many suppliers (or make one yourself).

For reference:

Depending on the year of the car, it may not have side curtain airbags, my 98 doesnt. Im running an Auto Meter dual gauge pillar pod that I got from Jegs. Not really a snug fit, because of the plastic push pins, but it does run right down and tight fitting at the dask.

Yea i have a 2000 and dont have pillar bags. I have the same setup as OP with a single pod in there. But i learned that prosport sells 52mm pod cups that look good on a steering column for cheap. And since no company makes dual steering column pods ( cause there idiot for not making it ). Not sure if im allowed to post links

Your statement is wrong. Its been proven that having A pillar pods while the airbags deploy isn't any worse of a situation at all. The A pillar folds up towards the windshield while the airbag gets deployed downwards.

dowsett5, your set up looks nice! what all gauges are you using?

xdewaynex, your pillar pod is still a much better fit than mine is. does it come in black? HAHAHAHA

Sure does. I just painted mine with grey primer to kind of match the interior.

Thanks. Top down they are; Fuel pressure, Air/Fuel Ratio, Boost/Vac, then the steering wheel one is my EGR.

I use prosport guages too, i just dont like pillar pods no more and they have cup mounts that fit perfectly on the steering column, but im broke :( right now. Which a/f guage did you get from them?

[dowsett6]

I run their performance series as that is all they had when I purchased them for my build.

I suppose its simply a matter of personal opinion. To each their own; that was just my .02
