Guage pod

Ok, so I have ran into a problem. I love my car. Its not t-tops, which is a plus for me, yet I want a gauge pod to go on my drivers side A piller. I dont want one of those cheap ones you have to either velcro up, or glue/screw into or anything like that. I know the t-top cars have it made because they can buy one that fits in exact placement of the old one. Now for us hard toppers... Do they make a triple pod that goes all the way to the top backside of the door/window? So you dont have to put it over the old a piller?

Re: Guage pod

hey i been trying to figure that out to. i havent found anything. Probably just because i only know the Hawks Third Gen and F-bod motorsports websites. i only know that theres a single, double and trible but as you said, it is going to end up going over the piller.

no sorry to say they dont make a full replacement pillar pod for you "hardtoppers" i have just recently bought pods and gauges and all i am seeing for hartop camaros/firebirds are double/triple pods that go over your exsisting pillar. most likely they dont make them due to them having to be so big. check summit or jegs and search by vehicle and you will see.

Re: Guage pod

Buy the add-on piece, attach it to your stock pillar, then mold them together!

Yes, these pics are of a 2 pod piece, but the same could be done to a triple pod.

Re: Guage pod

I might just have to deal with having one that goes over the old a pillar. I will make it just right so it dont look bad i guess. Nothing a little time and money cant fix
