I'm not too sure if anyone makes them. I know Autometer only makes the cover. Try Glo-Shift.

If you do the cover correctly, you'll barely notice it.

The only thing I could find was the cover as well. We got to do what we got to do.

There will never be a complete replacement, only covers. I have already contacted multiple companies to see if they'll make them and they all gave me the run around.

6le might be able to graft so t looks like one. If they even do that, its probably very pricey.

My Speedhut unit showed up. It isn't a replacement pillar like they make you think in their catalog. However, even though it's a cover, it's a FULL cover. Covers everything that shows. So it might be good.

Yeah every palce i look makes it seem like a full replacement but u can always tell its not cuz at the top it dose not curve up to screw in by the t-top but i would like to see what it looks like when u get done with the install

No, they don't.

OP your best bet is to put on some lingerie and try to seduce 6LE into making some. He'd probably grab the gauge pillar market by the *****, those bitches would sell like hotcakes.

I can't believe I've let this thing sit on the shelf for 6 months. I finally did some work on it. Speedhut sends it with these cheesy push darts to clip it to the OE pillar. I decided I would just epoxy it to the OE pillar. I'm about done with that. Only problem is, you don't have easy access to mount the gauges. I'm going to have to open up a large enough access hole to get my fingers in there. Shouldn't be an issue though. As soon as I can get it tossed on the car, I'll post a couple of pictures. I think it may not be as bad as it sounds.
