Arrow folks with A-PILLER guage pods (come on in)

Hey everybody
has anbody or know for a fact if you can mod the full a-pod guage piller to fit a 94' style dash?

I need to install guages soon and want a clean stock type look.
I was also thinking about just getting the just the pod (not the full overlay)and just pay somebody to fiberglass and give it that stock finish plus paint to match.

Throw some ideas at me or let me kno what you did.

thanks

I have the Autometer 2 gauge pod on my A-piller. It isn't the full piller, it has cheesy plastic push screws on each corner you have to drill holes for. It doesn't look bad but if you are good with filler or fiber glass you could make it look better. I don't know if they make a complete replacement piller pod for our cars, I know they do the the fox body Mustang.

Same here, Autometer the 2-pod. What I did was to use 3M molding/Emblem glue to mount it ( didn't like the pins ), You need to sand the area where it mounts and prep to get a good bond, or the glue won't hold! I used some body putty to make the seams a smooth transisionflow into the pillar. I painted the whole thing using Eastwood interior plastic paint, it's just a shade darker then the stock parts, you can't tell unless you were to hold it along side another peice

I believe the 3 gauge pod is the full pillar.

lol @ everyone with the 2 gauge pod. I was looking at that and thought "hmmm... they kinda jew you on the two gauge" . I saw a picture of the full pillar with the 3 pod so im pretty sure.

I have two gauges in the left vent, very very nice looking. It looks like it came from the factory that way but you have to do a little forming. I've had many compliments.

Thats what sucks. The 93-02 firebird is taken care of and the 97-02 camaro is as well. But the 93-96 camaros only get the shitty 2 gauge pod that the others are talking about.

I might try to make mine a 3 gauge pod with an add on pod..
