Nice work. I dont really see how that is any different in size than the auto meter pods that you said you dont like, but it seems a lot cheaper though. Nice job.

I've had a matching water temp gauge sitting in my garage for a while now...

Very nice!

Looks like your setup is holding up well over time. You're going on a year now, have you had any issues with them?

Also looks like you could fit more than four gauges with your setup. At least five!

Five? Who do you think I am? Joe? (CSIPSD) Haha.

Nope, no problems with the mounting.
I just wish I mounted them 2" lower. Just personal preference.

Nice job. Think I will go with the ones that are molded into the pillar though...

Update!!
I decided to make some changes. I wasn't 100% happy with the pillar mounted gauges for two main reasons...
One, they created a larger blind-spot than I was comfortable with and two, the pillar cups gave the truck more of a "hot-rod" or "performance" look from the outside than I wanted.

So I clicked on over to Clay's site, and ordered the under dash pod.
