    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone had any recomendations for gauge pods. I'm not sure if I want a steering column, pillar or dash mount. I was just wondering what you guys had for recomendations or what you have and if you are satisfied with it.

    The Autometer piece that replaces the bezel around your dash gauges is nice if you only need two . . .

    I like my autometer bezel. Pretty stock looking and suprisingly perfect fitment. It only has 2 mounting points tho (up top were the 2 factory screws are). It rattled on cold days so I secured it on the bottom. A third gauge will eventually be installed either in the heater vent, or with the subiegal fiberglass pod (fits flush up between the bottom of the a-pillar and the windshield). I think it gets pretty busy with the gauge cluster plus a steering column pod.

    The clock pod was my second choice as its easy to wire and more visible than the gauge cluster location. I personally dont like the a-pillar pods bc of looks, and also I already bump my head getting out of the car enough as it is :)

    I have a 3 gauge pillar pod. I like it because it keeps my boost and other gauges at eye level where I can watch the needles dance.
    On the downside, I tend to bump it when getting in the car.
    The bezels look good but it seem your view may get blocked alot.

    I used to have the triple pillar pod but it always seemed to get in the way when makingn tight left turns. Now I have a triple gauge dash pod I purchased on ebay from a guy in burnsville.

    I like the wrxtra.com pod for its stock appearance. Be advised though as one member got his car broken into presumably because of his gauges. I hid mine.

    take a look at rallysportdirect.com Good selection of pods. I replaced my OE boost gauge with a MB 52 single gauge pod. Fits nice and neat right above the VIN.
