Default gauge pod options?

Hey guys i will be installing a trans temp gauge when i get my trans back from performabuilt and im not sure here i can mount it.

I cant seem to find an A-pillar gauge pod that will fir a 95 camaro and the only one i can find is the one from 6litereater but it goes where the radio is and i dont want to give up my radio.

Any other options?

Summit also has dual and triple pods.

Here's a single pillar pod. And if you buy both the pod and gauge, you're looking at roughly $75 out the door with a one year warranty. I've used GlowShift in all my cars - including my current car.

I Really like the price on their products but im want a 3 gauge A-pillar pod and i didnt see one on their website.
do you know if they make one to fit 3 gauges?

also how are their gauges quality because their price is really cheap compared to the autometer gauges.


Also i heard the autometer gauge pod fits like crap. anyone got one who wants to post their results it will be appreciated.

The only three pod I see is for '97-02 Camaro t-top cars. I don't know that earlier models are any different (not a chassis buff) but if they are then no, GS doesn't offer a pod to fit (though you could always email their support and ask).

Their gauges are quality pieces IMO. The only problems I ever hear about them are of the life of the lights in the gauges. Even then, it takes about three or four years (again, from what I've heard) to do so. FWIW, all of my cars are always daily driven and the lights see action frequently. I've never had a problem with any of them. Fitment is great too!

If all else fails bud, just buy the gauges/wiring from GS and the pod from somewhere else.

Hey:

GS stuff is great for the price. Just do an universal 3 pillar pod mt from them,,http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/Unive...illar-Pod.aspx or the 97-02 works but needs some trimming to fit for the money diff the universal can't be beat and looks fine.

Dub

BTW, I have 2 GS pod kits in my car (3 pillar, 2 pod dash plus tach) gets about 20,000 miles a year put on it when I am home, and have had no issues with any of their products for over 7 yrs if that helps.

Looks good. Always wonder if anyone had done this to the earlier models. Got a close up of what you trimmed?

If you purchase the autometer it will require a ton of work to make it look OEM. Don't ask me how I know. I've got mine on a 96 WS6, even though it states for a 97-02.
