Guage Pod ??

Looking in a magazine at installation tips they showed drilling a hole in orginal pillar cover to run wires through.Do the pillar pods attach to the orginal cover or replace it?

Mine is a cheap one. It just goes over the original. The wires go out the bottom. Don't know about the good ones.

fuelman,

If you are considering doing a pillar pod, I have a pillar already drilled.. I just moved my gauges from the pillar to the top of the dash.. If you have grey interior I would be willing to trade.. I have too stare at a hole in my pillar now..

Fuelmanp,
what pod did you use to put them on top of your dash?
I need more space for more gauges.
