WTB New 3 Pillar gauge pod for 52mm gauges

Where can I buy a nice high quality triple gauge pod for my a-pillar? I want one that matches the stock color and fit really well.

Also Id like a pod to replace my radio with gauges. I prefer listening to the exhaust and never turn the radio on.

How are autometer gauges?

Is there anything I can do about removing the antenna? If I don't have a radio I can remove the antenna but I don't want it to look lame.

Plus I should buy 52mm right? (not 60mm) the 52mm is the most popular I think... anyone can help?

i believe lancershop.com offers the triple pillar gauge pod which matches the interior and also has cutouts for your tweeter. As far as the radio relocation kit goes, it was out of stock the last time i checked. However, i did buy the radio relocation kit from 500whp.com and it came in 3 days.

gauge sizes are really for personal preference, if you like larger gauges, go with the 60mm if not, the 52mm are just fine.

lancershop.com also offers a short antenna, "perrin" makes it

I should have 9 spots with the Apillar, radio spot and the stock spot below the AC controls. My car is an MR and it has gauges below there but I dont like them and they wont match. What do you guys think...

Apillar - 52mm shift light, 30psi boost gauge, oil pressure

Radio spot - A/F Ratio, Water Temp, Fuel Pressure.

Below AC - Voltage, What else,, i have 2 spots open.

I see your going "gauge" crazy. IMO, i would rather spend my money on some "go fast mods" instead of buying all those gauges. I find it nearly impossible to keep an eye on my a/f and boost through a 1-4 shift.

Wait a minute, yours just went over the stock A pillar? The one on lancershop directly says "COMPLETLY REPLACES THE STOCK A PILLAR" - is this one different? I'm talking about the 79$ one.

I stole this from the website:

Is there a better option? I want an a-pillar gauge set for 52mm gauges, I can do a 2 gauge if there is one that fits better, I want a superb fit, I am not so worried about it being a different color - I dont want it looking cheesy.

Yea man I was in the SAME BOAT as you 3 weeks ago when I bought my pod...I wanted a full replacement with stock fitment....lancershop's product decription is very deceptive...either by accident or knowingly. But yea...I was not happy at all when it arrived and I realized it was a cover. I have since gotten the autometer dual gauge pod that goes over the steering column, so i'm selling this one. Try gaugepods.com...they might have a replacement one, but it also could be another cover.

Shucks....does anyone have a pillar that COMPLETELY replaces the stock pillar (meaning you don't need your stock pillar, you can throw it out the window?)
