Default Finally....PICS of custom A pillar with gauge pod. Sorry for the wait!

This is the A-pillar that I was talking about in my last post. It is both sides but I didnt post the passenger side because it is only the same matched dyed surface.

Default Very nice! (more)

Could you post the details of your custom work again?<p>Very professional look - others really may want to be able to purchase that at retail (sorry, I don't have a turbo).<p>Hmmm, I wonder if I could get one made to conceal a V1 (maybe out of it's box and reshielded)? - It would probably have good visibility from there...

Default Gauge is on a diagnal?

It looks great, but wouldn't it seem less awkward if the gauge lettering was parallel to the dashboard? It seems like it should be rotated a few degrees counterclockwise.

Default Details from last post!

I just had custom pillars made and just wanted to pass on the info. They are made from OEM pillars that have been modified with a single gauge pod(of course a dual gauge pod could have been fitted if I wanted it) and then finished. I chose to have them dyed grey like the B and C pillars in my vehicle, but could be just left primed so as to be upholstered to your liking. I found it difficult to find a fabric that was even close the the factory, so I chose to dye. The results, a clean factory looking pillar that would make even the most **** person think that it was a factory option. The passenger side pillar is just a matching color to the drivers side. I chose this rather than mounting a pod on the factory pillar because if I ever want to, I can take both sides off and replace them with the factory pillars, and voila, back to stock. The shop said that they would consider mass producing if they saw there was a demand for it. Reality check, they werent cheap. $300 for both pillars. To me, a small price to pay for the convenience so be able to avoid scarring up my stock panels. Just thought that I would pass on the info. If anyone is interested, let me know.<p>By the way, I took pictures and will post as soon as I get them developed and scanned. I think they look great, but thats for each to decide. <p>
