I am contemplating gauge pods as well but the lotek I think it's just that(low tech), unless you blend the material with your dash it looks added on, the a pillar one , while I see how the airbags deploy , the force of that piece moving from left to right about an inch at who knows what force.....I would not be surprised if the gauges fly towards the passenger side. (anyone wants to install them and try it out???) and finally the mounted on the steering column look tacky , I had my Nova set up that way and hated it always but thats american interiors which is a whooole diff subjec. I did see the lotek blended into a 1 complete piece including vents on e bay for 300 bucks. ......I will wait see if anyone has the idea that will make it happen for me
