Default Who makes the best single pod?

I'm thinking about getting an interceptor gauge and want to get the best fitting/looking pod for it. I saw a pic of one that was a single and it had the lil vent in the bottom but it wasn't on the car. Sow me what you guys have and what brand it is. Yeah I did a search but didn't find anything ona single pod.
Thanks

I'm guessing that it was an Autometer unit. They have the hole cut for the defroster vent:

how do those install? do you have to screw them onto the factory panel, or is it a replacement for the OE piece? i might be in the market for one of these pods in the future...are there any that are a perfect match to the OE color and texture, or at least really close?

^ I would also like to know if there is a replacement for the OE. I am currently running a 3 pod unit that just went over the stock. I was able to paint it and keep the same color but I just don't like how it sits right on top of the original. And my head keeps hitting the top one. I would like to switch to just a single pod for my a/f. Thanks.

They go over top of the existing pillar, and then you drill it. You don't notice the screws if you put them out of the way.

The colors are close, but if you're extremely ****, you will notice a difference. I'm pretty picky about things, but I can't be bothered about it. It's close enough.
