I just bought one off ebay ! it was like 27.00 dallors they dont make any for the 80 to 91 models but the 92 to 97 model pod will fit it only requires a little trimming thats what many of the people on here do and the pillars look a lot better than the univeral pods do

i got the same 92-97 pillar pod. you just have to cut the lower section where it wraps around the dash. basically make it a straight cut.

ya, i love mine. you gotta dye it to match the rest of your interior and you gotta screw into the piller in a few places, but the new piller pod will come with plastic covers for the screws to hide em a bit.

Sounds awesome thanks for the info I can't wait to get it! I bought a universal one first I wasn't very happy with it and the guage holes where too big. Thanks again bud
