Need pics of 3 gauge pillar installed
Anyone have any interior pics of their Camaro or Firebird with a full 3 gauge pillar installed?

i had a 2 gauge pod on my pillar, i know its not what you are looking for, but just picture one more gauge on top of it. I didnt like the 3 gauge pillar (my friend had it) the top gauge was like right in your face and too high

the only reason i didnt get it was because the top gauge was right in my face, and anyone who owns those cobalt gauges knows they are REALLY bright. Toss in some 15% tint and you cant see whats in front of you when making left turns at night.

pops in just like the stock pillar, requires no modificaton. remove old pillar, insatll new one. take 2 mins. wiring everything neatly it what may take a while.
The 2 gauge pillar pod requires modifcation to the stock pillar (swiss cheesing it with holes)

the 3 gauge pillar is known to fit pretty "questionably" in alot of cases though.
be wary of it
i've seen many cases where it just COULDN'T be done... Then others where it bolted right in...
slight modification and "coaxing" seems to be the norm for them though.
I'm going to get the two gauge pillar after the 350 goes in (hopefully this summer)

I have a dual pod with a single pod and I don't have a problem at all. I'm not going to guarantee it's much different from the triple pod, but there is a slight difference. I don't feel like I have a guage lit up in my face, which is nice.

I have:
Oil Temp
Trans Temp
Volts
(All Autometer electric Z-series RED)
I mounted Water Temp and Oil Press on my dash where the blank vent panel is. I also have a 3 3/4" tach mounted on the dash pad. Hard to believe that my dash came stock with a 85mph speedo, a fuel guage, and idiot lights. Fixed that real quick that's for sure.
