First of all, if you are going to order an a-pillar gauge holder don't order it from Lancershop. Their quality sucks. I ordered one from them and it was cracked and the paint job was subpar. Now as for your question, the tweeter option is for those that have a tweeter in their a-pillar. It is a cut out to allow the tweeter's sound to emit without being muffled.

If you have the Infinity sound package and a tweeter speaker is in your a-pillar now, then get it. Otherwise don't worry about it.

As chemwarrior said, don't get it. I have it and am not satisfied with the fitment of it. I plan to replace it later but its doing the job now and I rather spend the money on more performance for now. JMO

Got my A-Pillar guage pod from AUTOCITYIMPORTS.com! I bought a combo w/ Glowshift guages for like $160... They arent DEFI but work just the same. Had them for 1 year 1/2 and still accurate! Just dont get the A/F guage. Their shipping was quick! It does NOT replace it, goes over the old one, but has the tweeter cut out! I told them (since it said it was a replacement) that it was not a replacement, and they sent me another 1!

I know you didnt say anything bout guages, but I like mine!

Looks good Rob, but I still wouldn't buy from Lancershop. Do you plan on coming back down here anytime soon?
