A-Pillar Confirmation

[YellowPR5]

I'm looking to Replace my current A-Pillar. I keep getting conflicting answers while searching so here goes:

Which A-Pillar brands Completely Replace the stock A-Pillar while providing 2 or 3 gauge holes?

Thanks for the help and clarification.

None that I know of. The Autometer 2 and 3 gauge full A-pillar pods slip OVER the stock pillar.

Well, DGM sells CF full-pillar pods

DG's products are also covers, they do not replace the actual a pillar as far as I know. Just like autometer.

so u would have half of a cf pillar?

Nope, it would be a full cover with no stock pillar showing, but you still need the stock pillar for it to attach to. Guess I just need to buy a new pillar and wait for gauges. N/A anyways so gauges aren't that important yet, just figured if I had to replace it, get one with gauges.

honestly man if your staying NA for now AND your gonna get gauges before FI or juice put them somewhere else so they are not flashy, the pillar ones attract too much attention IMO, they have 2 vendors here on the forums selling 1-2-3 gauge plates for under the radio if you have single DIN and one vendor (leadfoot) is making new gauge bezels that have 2 gauge pods built in the bottom corners...

Id go with one of those setups.

but its your car.

i agree, pillar pods are played out...be different

 

[wickedjra]

"played out"??? wow, that makes me feel kinda old.:-/ anyway, i got my 2 guage full pod from jegs.com. hope it's not just a cover cause i took off the factory, stuck some 3m tape on it and it looks good.

I, too, removed the stock a-pillar and replaced it with autometer's full pillar pod.

 

[cnutuckem]

i guess that was poor choice of words, my fault. SORRY.....

i say instead of pillar pods, go with digital gauge cluster, wouldnt be hard to make them , and u can still put hte odometer on the digital guage speedo... i think that would be sweet..

How???

I called them and they said it wasn't a replacement, just a cover? Did you rig it to attach it to the car?

eh..

I stil would want analog gauges for the stuff that moves constantly - speed, tach, boost. Digital for everything else would be cool though.
