Single a-pillar gauge pod Is this my best bet as far as getting a single gauge pod for the a-pillar?

I'd just be tossing an aeroforce interceptor in there. Does anyone know if it damages the OEM piece to attach it or could I just use some 3M tape to attach it instead of drilling holes in the stocker. I know the dual and triple pods are just a replacement but I can't think of a reason to get a second gauge to justify buying a dual pod.

i havent seen any good pillar pods in a long time. What i was planning on doing is getting the 6LE AC vent gauge pod and putting a Aeroforce gauge in the far left drivers side AC vent

Installed mine in about 15 minutes. I drilled into the stock A-pillar, I don't think 3M tape would hold up too well. The Interceptor gauge is definitely good money spent.

That doesn't look to bad, I think I'll just go that route. I guess it doesn't matter if I have to drill through the stock a-pillar.
I thought about going with the 6LE AC deal or the opening to the left of the cig lighter but I like using AC to much and I like tossing my cell phone in that little cubby hole so I settled on the idea of a single a-pillar.

I have the Autometer pod you referenced. It looks nice IMHO.
You could find a used A-Pillar trim piece to mount a new pod to. You could retain your original trim piece (without drilling holes), and in the future you could always go back to stock, or sell your car and keep your gauge.
