Ah. Makes sense.
Anybody know if Lindsey will make a pod for you that is just a single pod?
I need a creative place to mount a boost gauge. I use the cubby below the radio to hold my wallet and phone so that is out. I don't want a double pillar pod, don't need it (plus for the "looking ahead" issue referenced above.)
Wondering if maybe I can just mount up a generic Autometer gauge cup to the stock pillar.

You killed it and then dyed it? That's cruel Stephen, very cruel. 
I think they make a lot of sense but Reno might be right about it interrupting apex vision. Much safer to check out your readings up at eye level when at speed rather than look down to where many people put gauges in the Audio cluster area. I just kinda don't like the look of them, but may have to relent one day if they do one for an RHD car.

As for mine, it's never bothered me on the track. I just don't think I'll need gauges anymore at all as I'm hoping to come up with a good GUI to read off TEC3 with real time display.

Auto Meter makes many different kinds with silver bezels.
The one in Eniac's avatar is a Carbon Fiber Auto Meter.

Standard Autometer mounting kit/cup. Just get a longer screw and use the existing hole in the stock pillar.

my solution
Heres my solution, its a 968 pocket with originally a square pocket. I rounded the square to fit a boost gauge looks factory to me.

I did the same thing! Except I mounted my manual boost controller in the pocket.
Keeps the pocket open for phones and sunglasses!
