Can you use the hardware from your existing pillar? Or is it just a set of pods?

About the only way to mount a dual pillar pod is to screw it on to ur existing one or take the longer but better looking road and fiberglass them where it looks factory. I suggest the second one as even the triple pods screw into the stock one. I don't see y the companies can't make one that mounts like factory and forces us to destroy the factory pillar. I have yet to see one that mounts like factory.

Wat I did when running my wires including the aem wideband was dremel a half inch hole into the stock pillar pod at the top that way the aem harness went directly through both pillar pods and the bottom two wires came up and into that hole then down. There's more room in behind the stock one and I figured the stock pillar was already jacked up once u screw the new pod onto it so I said screw it. If I ever take it out ill buy a new one from the dealer. Just an option that makes it easier

And btw I also have the frog eyes pod for the steering column for my boost and oil pressure and its a hassle as well u will have better luck runing the pillar pod than using the steering column pod. My wideband was mounted there before I moved it to the pillar pod and it made the pod sit super ugly high in the back near the dash.

I wuld drill a hole threw both pods and use a push in clip. It's the cleanest way to mount a pod
