Lightbulb A-Pillar triple gauge pod Install. RK Sport Wins!!

Hey, in case anyone out there is thinking about installing a triple gauge pod in a 1993-2002 camaro on the A-Pillar, Go RKSport!!
I got the autometer triple pod pillar, and had to severly trim it, and then rivit it to the stock pillar, cause the included tabs wouldnt hold it in place. Then i went to install it, and it came no where near fitting!!
Well, got the RKSport one, its like 10 bucks more. So much better. Its a complete Pillar, perfect fit, and no trimming was necessary!!!
So, just incase anyone needs to know....

Yes, I know. That is what I purchased the first time around before I got the one from RKSport. I bought it from Speed Inc at www.LS1speed.com. Re-Read my post. It didnt fit worth a damn...

Thanks for the link. If you read it though it's for the 97+ and only for T-top models. The pillars are finished differently on the top and bottom to line up with the rest of the interior panels.
