Question A Pillar Guage Cluster

Ok here goes I was wondering for the future when I do my modifications where am I going to put my guages. What I want to find out from you guys is , does the airbag come out from the a pillar where it says SRS. If so I guess guages cant go there. If anyone knows let me know.

Only if you want a gauge impacting your skull at high velocity...

Or you can just unplug the airbag on that side pillar.

5$ says you cant bypass without some serious programming know-how. This ECU is a beast from what am reading on the forums. Even the guys from WORKS said the ECU adapts to mods very quickly.

So, like I said, it can be by-passed. I think a resister might work as well.

Me, I'm a fiberglass guru. I'll just make something and incorporate it into a panel or the 'cubby' hole area we have. Here some pics of some prior gauge pod projects.

I like to think of myself as a pro. lol. But sadly I don't do it as a profession anymore. I'm now in the Marine Corps and run a online car audio/video business.

I worked at a place called Mad House Performance and Rattle Your Crack car Audio and learned how to make pretty much anything.

GlowShift Gauges is currently working on an A-Pillar triple pod cluster. No word on when it will be out but it is being worked on as we speak. I know this cause they sponsor my car and the first completed one is being shipped to me. Sooo once i get mine I will inform you all and then you can start buying. Also their should be no issues with the airbag and the gauges. The gauges are mounted tightly into those cluster pods and also when the airbad deploys only the top of the A-pillars plastic piece drops down. The bottom clip stays in place so I dont think there is any need to worry. Just wait a few weeks and I'm sure the gauge cluster will be out.
