Default Best pillar gauge pod?

Looking for a two-gauge pod for the left pillar. Trying to clean up the unsightly gauge plate that exists under the radio - it just looks wrong (especially now that I have installed a Becker CDR-220). I have the AFR gauge, also looking to get a boost gauge, preferably white face. If you own a gauge pod and are very happy with the fitment and appearance, could you please tell me where you got it? Pictures would be nice too. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I saw the pic on their web site, it really looks nice. I like their gauges a little better as well.

Thanks! Have the black gauges been difficult to see in that location? I don't think the AFR will be a problem in either black or white because I'm going to get one with the color-coded lights or use the white-faced one I already have, but the Boost gauge needs to be fairly easy to see at a quick glance because I use this car on the track.

Never had any trouble reading them! The glare is misleading, I've never noticed it before that picture.

For the first couple years I had the car, I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find an alternative to the A-Pillar pod because I thought it was too flashy and 'ricer'. I even played around with mounting the gauges on the the steering column. The bottom line is that from a practical standpoint, you can't beat the A-Pillar!

I agree, I don't like the gauges way down in front of the shifter, and they look tacky on a generic plate anyway. An A-Pillar Pod is rarely found on a stock vehicle, but I think it 'fits' the car better than any of the other alternatives I've seen.
