I had a problem fitting my lines and wires between the oem piece and the new pillar pod so I took the oem one out and drilled 2 holes at the clip location points and put 2 small box head self tappers into them and put on head caps painted to match.looks good IMO and allowed me to keep it tight against the side and allows me to unscer it rather than ripping it off if I need to change a gauge and I can always put the stock one back in without holes.

I've got a carbon fiber 3 pod, removed stock piller put switch in the top of the pillar to turn the lights on on the gauges and then ot fit well but needed to drill tiny screw into the pillar and the weather stripping, but the rubber on the weather stripped helps cover the screws and arent noticeable.
