Help with A-pillar guage pods
I bought the Lancer Shop dual 60mm a pillar pod and trasferred the tweeter cover from the stock a-pillar to the new one. It was really pretty easy and only took about 20 minutes. A dremmel tool with a little cutting disk and a glue gun is all you'll need. The stock tweter cover has four plastic pins that go through the a pillar speaker hole and then plastic was melted over them on the backside. Just grind those plastic welds off with a bit from a dremmel tool, cut a whole in the Lancer shop a pillar where the tweeter will be with a cutting disk,drill 4 holes where the tweeter cover pins are, and put 4 blobs of glue from a glue gun on the backside of the pins to hold the cover on. It sounds difficult, but it really isn't and like I said, took me about 20 minutes or so. The Lancer shop a pill is painted already to almost a dead match. The only thing you'll need will be 2 londer screws, about 2inches, than the screw they sent with their pillar. Remember, it will only work with the dual gauge pod. There isn't enough room to put the tweeter cover on if you buy the triple gauge pod. The pod is made kind of cheap but the it is pretty good and it looks as if it were a stock piece when it is installed. Good luck!
I was browsing some sites and found that Vivid racing has a dual a-pillar pod that is painted to match as well. You'll still have to cut out the tweeter hole, but a review of it said the fit was perfect and installation was easy. IT is $70 compared to Lancer Shops at $58 but it might be worth it because they will give you the right hardware/screws to install it. I know Lancer shop sent screws that were way too short to screw in.
