Sorry, i was gone most of the day yesterday.

Lancershop's piece is terrible.

Issue #1: The gauge holes arent even all at the same angle, the lower one is pitched upward.

Issue #2: I ordered the tweeter cutout version and they sent me the one without the cutout and then never responded to my calls to their answering service.

Issue #3: i had to trim a TON of material off of the bottom just to get it to fit over the existing a-pillar, which someone noted, that they said was replaced by their unit.

All in all, i should have done a negative writeup on it, but i got it installed and saw how many others left negative feedback already, so i didnt bother. Only problem is that if i ever want to remove it, i'll need to find an a-pillar because mine is royally messed up from trying to get it to fit.

 

so is the auto meter also one that goes overtop of the exsisting a pillar or is it a direct replacement? If it is a direct replacement im gonna see if i can exchange it for that if not i will make the one i already have work.

 

The Autometer goes over the stock pillar.

 

i would suggest trying to make the one you have work...i can't speak for the autometer piece, but its got to be better than the lancershop piece. But, with some work, the lancer shop one will fit and hold in place.

 

yea i already started to trim it but when i lay it over the OEM piece the bends aren't the same. Do you kno if i heat it up and put some c clamps on it to hold it down it will start to take the shape?

 

im having the same issue. i ordered one, and it doesnt fit for ****, and im reluctant to drill into my car just to get it to fit.

spoke with someone else and they said these ones are a DIRECT replacement, as in use stock moutning tabs etc. -http://www.gaugepods.com/mitsubishi.html
im going to call them tomorrow and see if this is the case. if so im sending this pile of **** one back.

 

lancershop doesnt have a phone. So if you have a problem with them, it suxs to tryand get it fixed
