i still don't know why vendors are straying away from making these there has to be market for them with all the evo's and lancers rolling around without any gauge pod options besides universal and evo-r fiber dash pod.

^^That looks pretty good, it's almost like it was made to fit Now someone just needs to find the right color paint to match the stock A-pillar.

It's ok, just sell to Canadians only!

Also, where did you get that mazda 3 pod? For 25$ i might have to pick one up as a temporary solution.

it just pulls off,the top clip has a strap around it,just get needle nose pliers and turn the strap sideways, its pita at first.after you unhook the strap and clips pull the pillar up,the bottom of the pillar slides into the dashboard.watch the little plastic tab by the molding,where the pillar and dash meet.when you put the pillar back just pull the rubber molding down out of the way and push it back when your done.

looks like it was made for the x. the color thing would bother me but it really wouldnt be that big of a deal for someone to fix
