Aftermarket Gauge Mounts So, I've read that no one makes a gauge pod specfically for the '06-up Impalas. I've seen mention of one for the Monte Carlo SS of that vintage, but nothing for the Impala. I think I read in one of my searches that the Monte Pod can be adapted to fit the Impala, but I'm not crazy about the idea of heating up a plastic gauge pod and trying to conform it to our A-pillars. I'm almost certain I'd mess up the pod, making it useless. I also don't have anywhere near enough skill to fab one up myself.
So, I went browsing on Summit Racing's website and found these -

Is there any reason why these couldn't work? I'd be concerned about how clean the installation would look. I want minimal wiring showing, if I can't completely hide the wiring. I also don't want to cover up that tweeter on my A-pillar.
Thoughts?

I would have loved an A-pillar gauge pod, but didn't get many takers awhile back. Lotek makes them, but none for the 06+ Impalas. 
I installed an oil pressure and voltmeter in my console. I cut some plastic and then mounted the 12 volt sockets to it. Works good for me. Almost looks factory.
I just purchased my vacuum/boost gauge and I'm going to mount it using a universal bracket on my A-pillar. I'll just slide it up so it's not covering the tweeter. Hope to start work on it next weekend. I'll post some pictures once it's installed.
