for my car, i just used what the defi bf came with. the double sided tape that comes with it holds really well. there's no need to put any screws in it neither.

Since I have the RNR one I will chime in on that.

It doesn't really fit that well, and my AEM UEGO gauge sticks out too far. Everytime I turned the steering wheel it would knock up against the gauge. Really annoying! A standard boost gauge or something with a smaller lip might fit better though.

Since I spent over $100 on the CF gauge pod, I figured I would at least try to make it work. I cut out a small notch in the steering wheel plastic so that it doesn't hit when I turn the wheel. It's on the bottom of the wheel, so I doubt anyone would even notice it. I also had to do some trimming, filing and sanding around the edges to clear the turn signal and windshield wiper levers. (Dremel works great for this.) In the process of doing that, I sliced a DEEP cut in my finger with the razor sharp edge of the carbon fiber. My finger finally healed after 4 weeks! LOL After all that work I finally got it in, no clunking, the gauge fits nicely and the CF looks good as well.

I think if I had to do it again I would either get the Autometer pod or find a new location for the gauge.

Are you freakin serious???? I am tracking my order from Lancershop on the Autometer steering pod/Defi gauge right now and it is in my city today! If i dont get i will be very suprised and pissed. I paid for 2-day shipping, but they've screwed you for a year?? crazy! I just hope i dont have any rubbing issues. Is it true the Defi-D gauge can be mounted alone on the stock steering column? Possibly in the center? I might do that first.

Thumbs up

SuperchargedGTZ - This is not how we do business at LancerShop, and please be assured I will resolve this right away. Im sending PM right now to resolve this, please keep in touch and we will get a new pod or refund issued promptly. ( if the order was for a dual grey a pillar pod, we have been backorder forever on those and we can issue a full refund and send some coupons for the long backorder)

Please reply to my PM when you get a chance, and we will get this resolved right away.

In every thread that lancershop pops in on....they always seem to have great customer service. I doubt I will mod the car but I would like to add guages just because they look nice. Lancershop will get my business.

Got my Autometer Steering column pod from Lancershop, the wrong guage pod was in the evo8 box, returned it & they sent me the correct one..no real hassles. Would shop with them again.

Autometer steering column single pod "very nice" imho
