Got Autometer Pod today and Guess WHAT!!
the pillar pod fits over the stock pod. BUT WAIT. NO IT DONT. how does a triple pillar pod fit over the stock. theres no holes for the 2 other gauges. so they get pushed out. they dont even slide on together properly. If someone also got there and put it on. please let me know. because i tried for 20 minutes.

A SLIDE ON!!!. is that what Autometer does for all Pods? Pretty cheap to me

That is not sounding good. What color is it and how much did you pay?

i paid like $60 i think and its black. it doesnt make any sense though. instructions say do not remove stock pod. but it only has clearance for the one sotck gauge

you should have to take the stock one off...i know i my prix, we have to take the whole pillar cover off and then the pod goes in its place as a cover.

I got mine in on saturday and test fitted it without the stock one and it fit perfectly. Now just need my gauges and a longer screw.

i got mine today also. the pillar pod is not cobalt specific. as in base cobalt or supercharged cobalt. im pretty sure it will fit over the base pillar without a gauge already present. I have pics. will post them in a sec.
