60mm Triple A pillar? Or just Put in the center?

I have the triple a pillar by lotek (Evo8/9) and right now the fitment is terrible . I wouldnt even sell this thing to anyone else or give it away for free. Does anyone know if theres a triple a pillar for 60mm out there? With good fitment? Or should i just put them in the center console and call it a day?

Center gauges are much cleaner look I think. I only have aem wideband, boost so I'm using pillar pod though. For me, pillar pod is more easier to check and read . d center console gives much cleaner look.

I will give the same review for my 60mm lotek pillar. I couldnt get my defi's to fit. And I wasn't about to make them fit. DONT BUY THIS ITEM

I only have wide band and boost as well, but I went with the center console with radio relocation after ordering the trip pillar. Trip pillar is still in my basement and I'm not sure I could give it away for a six pack cause it looks like crap. I have 52mm though, not 60mm, but it looks decent.

I always liked the pillar look but on the evo I'm not quite sure. Would probably be better in the center, although I'm going with the Steering column pod

Save the a-pillar pods for the Honda crew.

autometer only comes in 52mm, i need them for 60mm, unless they can do a custom? Does anyone know of a custom place that makes them? Willing to spend the money if its quality stuff...

I went with the Lancershop dual 52mm pillar pod, fitment is very close, but the color was way off and we did have to do some minor dremel work at the top of the pillar. I dropped off my factory pillar at an auto paint store and had them whip up some color match. Sprayed it on, looks damn near like a factory pillar.

I think center gauges look the most clean, A-pillar is functional but 3x 60mm takes up a lot of visibility imo. Eventually I would like something other than A-pillar, but I just put them in a month ago
