Default 3 gauge pillar pod installed

First off I don't know if I am really going to like it, but we will see. Seems like it is right there in your face all the time.

I got the paint from Napa. They had a can matched up for the interior color. GM code was 69 Very Dark Pewter. I used some adhesion promoter on the plastic and then a couple coats with the color. That came out good.

Nothing is hooked up yet, just have the pod and gauges installed.







Man those pictures really came out bad!

Boost is just for show. Figure I will hook it up to my lumbar support pump and see how much boost it puts out.

I hate it because it sticks out to far. Feel like I am going to crack my head on it. And to read the top gauge I just about have to look sideways. Hindsight I might go with the socaldiesel ones in the center overhead console...just a thought.

Someone needs to make a gauge cluster where you can pick what gauges you want in it and order it up with only the ones you want. Someone has got to be able to do that.

2 gauges I would go with wideband and boost. I was trying to decide if I wanted a fuel pressure one also, but decided against it. Hopefully I will be able to keep an eye on things with the wideband.

Go with the 2 gauges (wb and boost) and get the socaldiesel pod would be my suggestion.
