AMI Custom A-Pillar Thanks!!!
Thanks to Andrew from AMI Custom for making this A-pillar for me. Took a while because of the weather but well worth the wait and price.

AMI = fiberglass parts.

I think I'll wait for Autometer or anyone else to make an ABS plastic one. (which will also retail for alot less)

The whole A-pillar is a factory pillar not molded into fiberglass. It is factory ABS, only the pods is probably fiberglass.

Im aware of that. They mod your stock pillar. (BUT with fiberglass)

Fiberglass=run away (far away)

I don't see anything wrong with fiberglass, it's not being weather from outside weather, i'm not flexing the a-pillar 24/7. It will hold and work till the car becomes a junkyard car.

You must have had a bad experience or if you do fiberglass work, you aren't doing it right. When done right, fiberglass is very strong, much stronger then bondo or plastic.

looks pretty good, curious to see how the angle looks with the gauges mounted so low down on the pillar like that. Please post installed pics!
