I ordered mine from summit and they fit perfectly without any modification. You do have to cut an access hole for the gauge wiring in your existing A-pillar or get pretty creative with some extra wire.

Mine is a cover for the A-pillar that goes the length of the original and covers it almost completely... I'll see if I can find some pics

Z28Camaro01,
I had to cut a little from the orginial A-Pillar, To allow the gauges to fit properly in the pods. My A-Pillar is a triple and looks great. And fits just like RollTideTA. Good luck
Have a great weekend and God Bless Our Troops and the U.S.,

Z28Camaro01, My pod look just like RollTideTA. Other than for the gauges the A-Pillar pod fit perfectly. You must have the wrong one or just a bad one from the factory. It's a AutoMeter Full A-Pillar pod correct? Good Luck!!

I would go back to the person you bought it from. And explain what is going on. It just don't sound right. The paper work that came in the box say anything, Like 93-02 T-Top Camaro/Firebird. Good Luck!!
