Default TT-Stuff A-pillar gauge pod experiences?

Does anyone have the A-pillar gauge pod installed on their TT?
If so, is it a clean fit or is a lot of heating, bending, filing, cursing and beer involved in installing it? Any tips, tricks, etc.?
Are there any good pictures available?

Default Several here have it, including me. It does have to be heated since it's not for the TT>>

results tend to vary. Works fine, it's just that the appearance around the edges will vary in porportion to your skills, and other factors like whether you take off the a-pillar cover to do it, whether the weather is cold when you do it, etc.

Default I got the "Supra pod" from TT Stuff...

It's for just one gauge. Took some heating/bending, but really it wasn't that bad. I sanded it then spray painted it to match the interior. It looks pretty decent!

At idle, your car sucks (at least that's whattheboost gauge says).
