Custom A-pillar pod pic

I finally got my custom a-pillar gauge pod finished, I just have to hook up the gauges!

Elite Innovations in Winston-Salem NC did it for me. They used the original a-pillar, made some fibreglass pods and sunk em' into the pillar and finished it off to make it look like the factory finish.

It was between $250-$300 w/o gauges. It is well worth the money. They sat me in the car and marked it it right at eye level so i do not have to look down. It's cool to have something custom made for you. It took about 2.5 days for them to do. If you can think it these guys can do it, I am having some more goodies done there in the near future!

they look really good, i love a pillar guage pods, they look damn good. anyway i think i talked to the guy who made your pod. at the atco raceway show here in new jersey the other day this guy came up (kinda chubby and short) and said he just finished making a custom guage pod for a guy with a 2001 civic. and he works in north carolina...small world if thats the guy. but go back and ask him if he saw a blue 2001 civic with a white/blue interior (my car). hell remember it cause i talked to him for a little while.

That looks nice, but did it have to stick out that much? I wonder how far back the guages go?

Grey,
They are actually sunk into the factory A-pillar. The Autometer A-pillar pods stick out really far. If you look at it from the front, through the windsheild, you can barely see them. I am just a bad photographer.

Ah, I getcha. Makes sense. Looks pretty good too. I would like mine either in the piller like yours or in the guage surround. Man, I need to learn how to take moulds and make CF stuff! That would be fun.
