best looking triple gauge pod?

I'm looking at the glowshift autometer and "triple gauge pod" from lancershop (all full a-pillar replacements)

unfortunatly, i can't find pics of each installed.

i want something sleek and nothing that looks retarded and overly large

i will be using 52mm gauges in it and want it tight to to apillar.

I prefer the steering column or center consol one after you relocate your radio. IMO Pillar's look ricey.

Google photos and you will see both the glowshift and autometer ones.

If you get an A-Pillar triple gauge pod it will produce a blind spot when you make left turns.

The glowshift isnt a replacement pod. It's a lay over. I believe the autometer is a lay over as well. Search google for "triple pillar pod evo" I'm sure you'll come up with something.

Not one that will even come close to mattering. It's not like its a big sqaure block on the left hand side of your dash. It makes it easy to read and monitor when needed. I had one in my 2g and loved it.

I have dual din headunit and I will be removing my stock gauges from mr.

I don't like steering column pods.

Here's pic's of my cobalt Ss turbo which has a single gauge in a-pillar from factory. This is the look I'm aiming for.

I just dont like those because they look so out of place, and like "Uhhh where can we put this" look.

Some guys have put the gauges in the center console where the hazard switch and airbag lights are. Looks good. Do a search

I've got one that replaces the original cubbyhole... got it from a member on here and it looks great and functional without having to do the radio relocation bit.

I just got a glowshift 3 gauge a pillar pod and threw it on and drove around with it, although there is a added blindspot I found it to be minuscule. it didnt seem to cause any problems. I might be new but I think given that I already have a din gauge center console the only sensible choice was to go to the a pillar. I think it puts them in field of view just enough for a glance. I dont think it looks ricie IMO.
