Default Gauge Pod Install

I searched up and down for this, before I install my dual gauge pod I wanted to see how people were installing them. I noticed the pillar pod came with something like 4 little press fit clips. I don't see any holes on the pod itself to fasten those with. Is there drilling of the factory pod underneath it to get those in?

You will need to remvoe the factory A-pillar, put the pillar cover onto it, then drill out holes for the pins. You also need to drill larger holes in the factory A-pillar in the middle for the wires to go through.

Take off the T-top. There are a couple screws there that hold it on. The front part is tricky to remove. I am not sure if there are any screws there to remove or not. You have to pull the front up and out. Theres not much to it.

If you are referring to the signal wire... you hook it up to the O2 sensor, preferably through a pigtail that can be had for next to nothing.
