They do exist, but most of the time they only fit T-Top cars........ If its a Formula just get a 2 5/8 boost gauge for one of the A/C vents....... alot of people have it that way and it looks great. Heres a pic

Full pods do exist for a hard top. I have a three pod on my pillar but it is a T-top. Go to the auto-meter web site it will be there.

Per the 2003 Autometer catalog, 12210 is a full pillar dual 2 1/16" for a hard top and the 12212 is for the T-top. A triple full pillar for 2 1/16" gauges is 12211 for the hard top and 12213 for the T-top. Hope this helps and we usually have them in stock.

there are no full dual pillars for a hard top any where, just talked to auto meter and they said that the pillar was NEVER made, and MM that site is just for t top cars, i appreciate all the help but it looks like i am buying a pod
