Looking at getting a triple pillar pod. Which companies make them and which fit the best/stand out the least.

Don't plan on getting a cage so that won't be a problem. And thanks, it's a garage ornament right now since I'm in the middle of a motorswap. soon as that's done she's getting a detail and some pics

not really a whole lot of options on pillar mounts. The triples replace the entire factory pillar anyway, so they look as factory as possible. Glowshift offers good products. Autometer makes them as well. search our sponsors' sites. i'm sure some carry them.

I have a glowshift 3 pod a pillar with three gauges. They have a 3 gauge kit on their website which is a great deal. The pillar pod is kinda cheap, but I just cleaned it and sprayed it semi-gloss black and it looks great, the 7 color gauges are sick too.

Do you have pics of your pillar? Saw on another thread that the bottom part of the pillar is cut off above the small vent, wasn't sure if they all came that way?

yeah just get the autometer pillar pod that replaces the factory one. From my experience w/ Autometer pods, the fit is pretty damn good.

I thought the autometer also was attached to the factory one? Anyone have a link to the one that replaces the entire pillar?

Sorry not trying to hijack the thread, but I was looking for an a pillar pod as well.

there is no such thing as a replacement pod. All of them attach to the stock pod be means of adhesive or plastic push-pins. I have the Autometer in mine and it sucks the least out of all of them.

My best advice, do what i did: buy another OEM pillar and us it to attach the gauge pod to. you've gotta cut and mangle it pretty good to accomodate the wiring and mounting hardware. This way, you'll have your original pod in case you decied to sell the gauges/pod or whatever.

they use to make a replacement pillar for ttop cars. I had a two pod pillar that replaced the factory one in my first 01 TA. that was 6-7 years ago (damn it's been that long??). Do they not make these anymore??? It attached at the top with the two factory screws....
