dual gauge mount a pillar ?

Hey guys
I bought
Dual Full A-Pillar Grey 52mm gauge pod from lancershop.
As the website says, it will completely replace the stock a pillar,

but there is no way to hold my new a pillar,
I asked lancershop, and
they admitted their description is wrong lol

Does anyone have same experience ?

How can I mount it ?

Or, is there a good gauge pod a pillar ???

If I'm not mistaken its an overlay. So you have to screw it on to your existing oem A pillar.

The dual gauge A pillar doesnt seem like it can cover the OEM A pillar,,,
which a pillar are you guys using for completely replacement OEM A pillar ?

My car came with dual gauge a pillar. Previous owner did attach small piece of wood and screw on there to hold Apillar. Not sure if its same one, but It worked tho.

i have the exact same thing, its basically a cover to the OEM one. I ended up drilling holes on the OEM piller that way i could route wires and hoses through it. Than attached 2 screws to keep the overlay one stuck to the OEM Pillar.

All of the gauge pods are misleading... they are all overlays. Haven't seen a full replacement yet. If anyone finds one though.....

I finally ended up with drilling holes on OEM A-Pillar.
However, the gauge pod that I bought did not perfectly fit, so I needed to cut some bottom parts lol.
Anyway, thanks for all inputs!!!
