A few pics installed. Have not ordered gauges as of yet. Do not want to mix-match brands. May just go AEM boost and A/F....

Passenger side view..

Backseat view.....

Painted passenger pillar to match....

Driver seat view....

View from driver position looking forward.....

As I stated not professional, but I'm happy with results. I did alot of sanding, and was not gently holding these. I do believe the bondo and hot glue used will hold sufficently. Time will tell. Thanks for looking. Pickup your jackets and hats at the door!

Very nice, I am definitely doing this in the spring. I didn't think I would like the black look but it is nice. Is the paint reflective in the sun or is there not much glare (just checking out the second picture)?

Good work man!!

No reflection from the a-pillar. actually i used armor all wipe to get dust off and it made it shine. It was pretty much like the black on dash.

Seems like Im the #1 A Pillar Pod Advocate lol.

TD66 looks very good, props to you!
