What gauge pods are people using? Pics plz

Hi. I was just wondering what gauge pods people are using? In my old cupra r I had a 2 gauge pod on the a-pillar that looked pretty decent but im slightly worried the 3 gauge pod I've got my eye on might look a bit cluttered. I've also seen the centre console pods but am not too sure about them either, so if anyone has some pictures they wouldn't mind sharing id appreciate it

Thanks

^ I feel like that is the best way to avoid unnecessary attention from the police.

They both look pretty decent but i think the ones by the other dials look more practical. I still think I prefer the A pillar one I've seen, I just don't want the top gauge to be right in my face. I'm probably going to just take a chance and buy it

Thanks

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with mine. What exactly did you do, just make the holes bigger to accommodate larger gauges?

I'll be running five gauges, so I need the real estate.

All my last couple of cars have had gauges all over the place and I've never had an issue out here in SOCAL!

I had the triple A Pillar guages in my first Evo 8...but after driving it around I realize it caused an ugly blind spot when making left turns or seeing uncoming traffic or things. Sounds weird I know...but it did take away some of the line of sight. I know use the dual guage pod over the steering wheel. just my .02 cents.

Ohh ok I see. I'm an idiot and thought you were referring to the stock MR/RS gauge panel

It looks good though man, simple and clean. I think I will try modding the RS gauge panel I have and see how it comes out.
