Default Gauge pod option

I have been through lots of forums stating that no one makes a gauge pod for a cts-v. I just thought i would share this information for anyone looking to do a gauge pod in a cts-v as there is an option. I just put this pod in and attached some pics of it. Once i get the rest sorted i will get the pillar recovered so it does not look so "ricer". LOL

The 88-94 chevy full size part number 15100 fits fairly well. I just took my pillar to the local parts store and kept trying them until I found one that fit

Attached are a couple pics of how it fits so anyone looking for an option to mount gauges this may work.

I also attached a pic of the 3rd gauge that is mounted in the cup holder ( that can be closed if need be) and one of the engine that I am trying to keep tabs on

Like the ingenuity but I can't sugarcoat it that pillar gauge pod looks horrible. If you at least wrap it in the same fabric it would look 100x better

I think a Nissan GTR style data logger screen that replaces the stock V radio would be killer.
or something that changes the stock radio to show more vehicle and performance data.

anyone working on that?

Just wanted to say thank you To s-cam for posting this. I finally got around to installing my wideband and boost gauge. I used the 15100 gauge pod just filed it down a little bit. Then painted the pillar black and plasti dipped the speaker and little air bag trim button that covers the screw.

One of the Mustang dash mounts will fit above our AC vents. Not too bad, if you have a race car and need some extra assurance.

For a street car, nahhhhh. We don't drive Hondas guys.....jk

I've never been a fan of pillar gauges. But it looks a lot better with the pillar wrapped black
