102423, Anyone using the Ebay 3 gauge pillar pods??
Posted by jshillin, Feb-26-07 10:42 AM
I was looking at the 3 gauge pillar pods on ebay and was wondering if anyone is running one?? I'm talking about the complete pillar, not just the pod that attached to our stock pillar. I searched around the boards and see people running 3 gauge pillar pods, but nobody says what brand or where they purchased them? How well do they fit? Do they closely match our interior colors(black)? If someone can recommend one it would be much appreciated as I need to get one before I install my STAGE 2 HRC kit.

Thanks

I have one and it fits nicely, just make sure they include the mounting hardware. It's a little more glossier plastic than the oem pillar but it has the same texture.

I wouldn't trust those eBay gauges. For that price, it's hard to tell if they are going to be accurate gauges, and that is something you don't really want to cheap out on. You are putting gauges on a car to monitor engine function and if they aren't accurate, you really just wasted money on it. I would stick with Autometer as being the least expensive, quality gauges to buy.

Thanks for the pic. Fitment actually looks pretty good.

More pics are welcome, especially of gray or black ones...

I'm not inquiring on ebay gauges, just the pod that holds them.

Thanks

My bad, I thought you were talking about the pod+gauge combos that I've seen on there.

I trimmed the brackets that came with my gauges to fit and also had to cut the gauge housings so they would fit snug all the way in the pod.

My cobalts came with this thick rubber band type thing around them and they just fit in nice a snug
