What pod mount are you using?

I was thinking of AP triple 52mm pod that goes under the HVAC, RexSpeed dual pillar pod, or Perrin's dual steering wheel pod.

Problem with AP is I heard the fitment of it is trash. Anyone have any rebuttals?

RexSpeed is nice but I noticed there is a SRS Airbag on the pillar, I don't want any gauges flying if anything happened.

Perrin's I really like this but I don't like the fact that I won't be able to monitor low RPM // MPH

CP-E panel pod is out of the question because I don't like the idea of possibly losing driving visibility.

What are you guys running?

I have the RexSpeed and I don't worry about the air bag.

1 the airbag is more over the side window than it is in the A pillar.
2 if you mount the rexspeed over the stock A pillar when the air bag goes off it swings the stock pillar to the windshield so nothing should go in your face. You might have a gauge fly through the front of your windshield but who cares if you got hit hard enough for the bag to pop you have bigger problems than a cracked windshield.

I know you sent me a pm about fitment so here is some pics, judge for yourself. It looks better in person and I hardly notice any of the imperfections, you really have to be looking for them and thats why I focused on them with some of the pics.

I went with the Rexpeed dual pod, fit is pretty good as long as you take your time when mounting it over the stock plastic. Been on for a few months now, no complaints.

if you willing to use other unit then stock , then get a JDM double din and you will have room for radio and gauges. There is enough room for both. Just you need to find some opne or you do it your self.

now we coverd it for antiglare, but the picture give you idea about the space there.

That looks really nice, I was actually thinking of a double din but the price on it is sooo deng expensive! However you're right. A body shop could easily mold 3 52 mm holes for me with the JDM unit -_-; gosh it would look super kick *** too!

AP triple 52's. DEFI boost and Oil Press, Innovative WB. Fitment is ok and looks factory with the DEFIs. But what really fits great inside these cars? Lezbehonist... Its the best option I've seen for these cars.

With Agency Power's gauge pod, do you still have access to the Aux cable/outlet? Also, are the lights in that cubby/space blocked by the pod?
