Which A-Pillar Gauge Pod should I get?
Been doing some research. I'm planning on getting a A-pillar Triple gauge pod. So which one fits/looks the best? I've been looking at ones at Intense Motorsports, Grubbs, and the Autometer. If there are any others, feel free to chime in as well.
Also, should I go with tan to match the stock a-pillar? If it's not a close enough match to the other a-pillar & headliner, I think I'd rather go black...

Dont get an A pillar, they make your car look ricey.

Ya, that's why i said they were Okay not perfect or great. lol. I also stated in that post that i had to shave the circles to make the gauges fit. Here's the outcome.

A pillars are ricey. You have a car with a beautiful interior. Would you put gauges in a BMW? I would IF it was the M3 CSL because its more of a "race" car. A Ferrari, yeah, they belong, but I think we're forgetting that primarily our cars are lux and looked upon as lux whether we have any form of FI or not.

I think your choice of words are not executed correctly. Your opinion is that a lower placement is more stealthy and more liked by yourself, however, others appreciate it on the pillar. What makes it ricey??? Because it isn't stealthy? or because it isn't stealthy on a luxury SC car? Come on man.
