post some pics when you install it i'm thinkin about doin the same to mine
I already did this a long time ago. Many others have too I believe.
You just buy the part for the ttop cars, and cut off the end of it so that it will fit the convertible pillar. A good thing about doing this is that it looks much more factory than one of the pods that you drill onto an existing pillar cover.
The pictures may not be the best, but you can see how it looks like it came that way from the factory.

they worked fine for me too. I think the bottom sits the same on the triple guage pods. It didn't look too good though just because it took up the whole a pillar. The dual pod is all I would do.
I hate how the bottom pod sits on the dash. It's absolutely stupid that Autometer and all the others did that. My dash sits about 1/4" high on that side and none of them fit. I'm going to get the 2 pod add on type and then adhere it to the stock pod without screws. Hopefully it will look good.
it looks good but i hate that steering wheel. i had a 91 as well as my 90 and that has to be the uglyist wheel i have ever seen. i want to get rid of mine.

I wonder why your dash sits high? Does it have aftermarket speakers underneath? I suppose you could just trim off some of the underside of the pod to make it work. I didn't want the add-on style because it doesn't look factory.

See, I tend to think the pre-'90 style wheel is the ugliest thing ever.
