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

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.
