Yes it will fit in the attitude pillar mount and vice versa. I mounted my attitude in the evo pod. Graphed the pod to the dash bezel for a custom look instead of just mounting it with the sticky pads. There are some pics in my gallery. I've since changed how it's mounted on the bezel. Same location, but lowered it a bit and angled it more towards the driver. No new pics yet, but they're coming.

I think its the same.I had both of theme but got new pillers for them each time.BTW you should have gotten a custom burn chip from dp.The difference night and day,like i said i had the edge and thought it was the best out there till i got my chip from dp.Twice the power and better shifting programs for a better price.

I don't think it worth starting a new thread and don't want to hijack this one but...
... I got the EVO 1) for the gauges and 2) for the code reader and 3) for the programmer. I'm satisfied on all three counts (although Ryan's install sure looks a lot better than my 'stick-on' install).
Will I be able to buy a DP tuner and still leave the EVO installed (I assume I'd have to put the programming back to stock before installing a DP)? That has been the long-range plan but I was assuming there wouldn't be any conflict and I've gotten in trouble before when I assumed things.

Thanks, MR5x5. Glad my assumptions were correct.
But now the wheels are turning again...
Ryan! When are you gonna put pics of your latest mount in your album? The first job was excellent! Now I want to see how you improved it.
One reason I wanted the EVO for gauges was because I do alot of mountain driving and the piller w/grabhandle obscures vision on the winding roads. I didn't want gauges to further block the view. I've even been considering removal of the grabhandle since I never use it.
I'm guessing that it isn't very difficult to remove the entire dash "face" like Ryan did?

Thanks!! Yes I'm going to get some pics of the new one, but have to get my computer back up and running at home. Just moved and haven't got it set up yet and the work computer isn't setup to download from my camera.
I ended up replacing the entire bezel because I got a great deal on another one. I used my old one for parts. Took my dremel and cut off the molded pod, cleaned it up, trimmed off excess, went from there. I also molded in a small round guage mount for a voltmeter, since Ford decided we didn't need one anymore. Relocated the 4x4 switch and installed another 'power point' in that location. Didn't take an 'in-progress' pics this time though, only final ones. But looking at the pics side by side, you can see the difference.
It's not hard to remove the bezel at all. First remove the radio with some removal tools. They can be found at wally world or anywhere for that matter. There might be 2 7mm screws that need to be loosened at the top of the radio opening after the radio is out. The start pulling out on it a little at a time. It's just held in by little push clips. Remove electrical connections for components as you go and that's about it. I can get one out of the truck in under a couple minutes now.

Finally got some pics of the modified pod and dash bezel loaded up.
I can't seem to get the pictures to post in the thread, so you'll have to check my gallery, under Edge Pod. They are the last 3 pictures.

VERY NICE Ryan!! And I thought you had such a nice job before... it DOES look even better now. You should take the extra dash shell, buy one more dash mount housing from Edge, do it all again then sell them to guys like me! You then get my core back and do it again. I could sneak $50 out of our accounts, maybe more ;-)

LOL!! That might work. I'll let you know if I decide to do that!
I figure if I ever upgrade to something different, I'll sell the bezel with the edge, since it's made for it. Then either go back to the stock one or custom make another one for new gauges or something.
Thanks for the compliments!
