Custom Triple Gauge A Pillar!
Sometimes if you want something done right...you have to do it yourself.
I got tired of waiting on companies to produce the triple gauge pillar pods I wanted and finally bought some gauges and needed a good mounting solution that was clean. So...my buddy and I got to work fabbing a triple gauge a pillar pod from a different pillar pod I had onto a spare evo x a pillar. Here are the results thus far, we have sanded lots but need to sand a bit more still and then add final primer and paint but it's come a long way so far and the angle is perfect in the car. ~Trent

Dude that looks really nice. Sometimes you do have to take matters in to your own hands.
Are those 60mm? Do you think your going to lose some visibilty with them at all?

They are 52mm openings. I shouldn't lose visibiliy at all from the angle they are set at.
It's been epoxyed to the stock pillar also so I'm not worried about the bondo for the most part because it shouldn't be flexing that much.

Boost, EGT, and Wideband Air Fuel or move my wideband and then have Oil Pressure on the pillar with the other two.

The pod was out of my old F150 then heavily modified, I liked the angle we were able to achieve with this modified pod better than the angles I've seen with the APC and other random pods that have been modded thus far.
