Until yesterday(I uninstalled it), I never knew my pillar gauge pod was just a cover over OE. I can tell if its done right, its really nice. I dont think its worth it.

I was about to post up my new Speed Hut pillar, when I ran across this. Somebody buy this thing and tell us how good it is!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110913126334...84.m1423.l2649

I confirmed...it's the real deal. A full A Pillar replacement.

Really? I've seen hundreds of eBay links on here. And there is no direct competitor here that makes a full pillar. I'll keep the link until the mods tell me otherwise. It's for the good of the membership IMO.

Well it came in. It is the same piece lotek sells. (like the one I already have) it is not a complete replacement like they say in the description. I will be sending this back. FYI lotek sells for $40. eBay pod $79.99.

thanks for the info!....

I would be pissed...and want all the shipping cost back to send back to them....They mis-represented the product.

I would file with paypal too just to make sure.



They Freakin KNOW its a "COVER" and not a "REPLACEMENT" piece!!!!!

Man...that pisses me off so bad. I SPECIFICALLY asked that too! I have it recorded in eBay messages.

Just to be 100% sure...this is a cover and not a full pillar replacement? And can you post a picture? Thanks.

Also, if it's a cover, leave negative feedback stating that.

This is a cover! You must use your factory piece with this. It is the same exact piece as lotek. I emailed them, they will give me a full refund. It is hard to photograph because it's in a bag that I don't wanna open.

I was hoping something would have turned up .. I guess I would either have to hope for 6LE to make something or just use the cover I have..

Contact DOUBLEMODS on here. I've talked to him a while back and he said they make a complete replacement for the pillar with the pods for the gauges.

You guys are getting your panties in wad. Put the full cover on, put in the clip at the very top and call it good. A clip at the top won't be noticeable and gets covered by the sunvisor. Now if you overpaid that's another story lol.

I have the Speedhut cover installed. I did everything I could to avoid using any fasteners to attach it to the original pillar cover. Hot glue almost worked...but when it's 120 degrees outside, the interior just gets too hot to hold when there's some pressure. I used a couple of rivets, painted them black, and called it good. Overall, I would give it an 8 out of 10...with 10 being a replacement pillar cover. I can live with it.

I'm sending eBay a message. This guy flat out lied. I have it in writing that it's a full replacement pillar pod.
