Default Help, need advice on gauges and pod

At the current moment, I'm running cheap autometer gauges (by cheap I don't mean pricewise but in terms of quality and looks).

I really began to like the defi link gauges because they're quality workmanship

http://www.defi-shop.com/product/bf/bf_top.html


However, the gauges are 60mm or 2 3/8

As far as I know, autometer only makes pods for the trans am in 2 1/16 so I'm afraid it will not fit into my tripple a-pillar gauge pod.

I was trying to look for other pods online but couldn't come up with any. DEfi makes a pod for the WRX and not our cars

Any help would be appreciated

Actually autometer is one of the most reliable and accurate gauges on the market. There looks may be 1960's but that's just an opinion thing. They aren't on the market to look good in newer cars im sure. But check out the new autometer NEXUS series gauges by far the best looking gauges around. Thats what i have. They look similar to the DEFI's but in my opinion they look better. They also have way more features.

yeah I like the autometer nexus series a lot but are a little bit more expensive than the defi. Did you get a good deal on them. Since I have a tripple pod pillar, it means I will have to spend around 1K when everything is done including the control which is like another $200
