that looks nice. what brand is the gauge holder? how hard was the install? did you need to remove the stock plastic piece or does this go on top of it? is it drilled in or double-sided tape?

IMO the A-pillar pods are so played out. Everyone and their grandma has one. I think the cleanest is the 3 gauges w/ the radio relocation. Only problem with that is that you have to turn your head to actually look at them...thus taking your eyes off the road.

I have no problem with my gauge pods. And I have both the A-Pillar and a single Steering Column Pod.
People keep complain about the blind spot with the A-Pillar, but seriously, you have a bigger blind spot on the rears of the Evo than with the A-Pillar.
And sure the whole A-Pillar thing is "played out", but there is a valid reason. Because it works. I don't care if people think its ricer, it works, it functions and it fits the job. What else is "played out" about it?
I'll take a shot of my Defi Setup after I get back from work tonight.

Thats the autometer kit. It slips over the stock plastic piece, you have to drill holes in the side of the OE one and use the plugs supplied in the kit to hold the two together. I may have used double sided tape as well, I can't remember right now. Installation is not that hard, I think it took my friend and I under an hour.
Hope that helped.

I didn't use the plugs, they kept falling out.
I used doubled sided tape and and put in black zip-ties from the inside, with a zip tie gun to keep it together. Its really clean. I'll take close-ups of that too.
