A pillar gauge pods?

Is there anyone yet who sells an A pillar single or dual gauge pod for the Evo 8 US Lancer? I would much rather have a gauge pod than the RMR solution which seems to put the boost gauge right on top of the steering column in turn blocking your view of the instrument cluster, specifically the tach. You can get a 3 gauge pod from the Mitsubishi dealership that fits in the little storage space in the dash but the gauges are very small and the boost gauge isn't visible at all from the drivers seat without turning your head.

A local customer came by with one for some mid 80's American car that fit very nicely... a couple minutes with a heat gun would have made it perfect! I forget what car though, but I'll try and find out today.

This is not an A pillar solution, but you might like it. We are making one right now from CF... I posted in the Intallations forum, but here is a picture of the "buck" in place in the car... We'll find out soon how well it works out. I think we'll be able to sell them for less than $50..
