A-Pillar Gauge Pods
for those of you that have a-pillar gauge pods, how did you mount them securely? i bought the dual a-pillar gauge pod from lancershop. i already installed the tweeter grill onto it and i had to cut a little bit off of the lower side for it to fit perfectly, but i dont know how to mount it securely. it came with 2 screws, but they seem to be really short and i dont think they'll screw into any part of the car. what did you guys do?

the lady i talked to said it was a direct replacement. i know the stock a pillar has the clips, but the one i bought doesn't have one. i'm thinking about cutting the lower half of the stock a piller and screwing the gauge pod into the top half that has the clips. i'll have to see if it fits though.

yeah but where would they screw into? the chassis? i'm thinking about fabricating something that i can stick onto the chassis so the screws can screw into them, but what kind of material would i use?

Dual A-Pillar Gauge Pod
very slight spacing on top because of the use of the stock a-pillar, but you can't really notice it.

im not sure if i understand your question, but the lower gauge pod is angled steeper than the upper gauge pod just so they aren't blocking each other from view. also, the gauge pod doesnt match the color of the stock a-pillar 100%. it's SLIGHTLY lighter, but you cant really notice it unless you do a side by side comparison of the two.
