Going to be getting some gauges and I have some questions.

What is the best fitting gauge pod for the A pillar? anyone have pics of theirs or links?

Also, I have the side curtain air bags sense mine is an 09.. Can i just replace the plastic piece that's there with the gauge pod? or will that fly off and hit me if my air bags ever go off?

 

Well if you put gauges in front of an airbag, you do the math.

 

So I can't have an A pillar gauge pod..... Are there any other types for our cars?

I'd like to avoid mounting them with ugly brackets straight to the dashboard.

 

There is a guy in Chicago who makes custom steering bezel pods so that the gauges will then sit in front of your speedo/tach.

He's not an official vendor on here, so PM me for more info on it, if you're interested...

 

i like zzp triple gauge pod and glow shift gauges.

 

Yeah i'd really like to do the ZZP triple pod, but I can't because of my A-Pillar.... Blah.
Anyone have the guys username that makes the cluster ones?

 

I don't have a triple pod and when I had the a pillar off don't remember seeing any air bag stuff although I didn't really look. If they can put a stock gauge in,i don't see why a triple pod would be any different or dangerous. I have a 09 ss/tc btw

 

mine didnt have any curtin airbags in the pillar and im pretty sure my car came with them so idk i guess the only way to find out is take off your pillar.

 

Your curtian air bags are in your headliner right above the door. The reason they say do not put a pod pillar there is when the air bag deployed the pillars moves out of the way, and a aftermarket pillar may get stuck or in the airbags way, send a guage fyling at you etc

 

yeah thats what i thought, i think theyre in the rears though right? because they have a rubber line connecting the pod to the car correct?

 

^ the airbag? no there literally above the glass of the door, in the headliner

 

hmm, must have misremembered that from my old car days lol
