ok here it is again
you can see this view from it as if it was mounted

this is the end that stops at the ttop lock it wraps around the stock plastic a-pillar

and this end goes around the air duct completely so no interference with it at all

once it's installed I'll take more pics , but I don't think there a sponsor so If you want to know whee it's from pm me or just check ebay. so far I'm happy with it all.

I actually bought that pod from glowshift. I like it because it doesnt have that stupid over sized hole for the little vent. I may end up molding it into my stock piller tho

Ive owned a v8 in the past and at this point in my life and with gas prices so high I have no desire to get a v8 any time soon, the v6 is just fine for me that you.

I had mind tapped into the dimmer for the interior lights. If you look at a wiring diagram for the system, it will show you what wire to use for the power to the gages. its simple

this is for ttop cars and fits nicely on the inside with no knuckle rubbing on the pods like I've seen in others, it only comes in black so I need to paint it to match no big deal. it's gona look great

this fits just as good as the autometer my buddy was actually mad about his autometer having the hole in it and he epoxied his to the pillar. looked at his and they both fit the same it's all on how YOU decide to install it. mines held on by 3m molding tape and two screws at the top.

yeah I looked into that something isn't right so I've got them powered by my lights at the moment until I plug in my sensors

I went to a local paint shop here and they had the color on file for 98-02 theres only three choses tan, ebony, and gray I also grabbed a clear prep for plastic/vinyl.
step 1. wash soapy water
step 2. dry
step 3. clear prep (2 coats)
step 4. paint (2-3 coats)
step 5. dry (dries quickly but I let it sit all day while I was @ work)
step 6. install at will....

I'm sorry I know you did this a while back but do you remember what adapters you needed?

I have the old autometer, but it was completely remolded and shaped to fit properly in my 96 WS6 t-top car. I had the pod covered in black alcantara.
