full pillar pod for hard tops

I was wondering if there is anyone that make a full pillar dual guage pod for 93-96 hard top cars. I'm not trying to just pin a short pod to my pillar; it doesn't have the fluid, stock look of the T-top full pillars guage pods. I have searched on here but haven't turned up anything.

If there aren't any, does anyone have any ideas or pics to make one of the regular guage pods(non t-top) look more factory. Thanks

kevin

you can mold a gauge pod to your stock pillar and paint it a factory color.

Although mine is for a t-top car not a hardtop we did mold a dual gauge pod into a stock a-pillar. It came out perfect. Had the paint matched at a local shop and it was almost spot on.

Molded up ready to be prepped...



Here it is all ready to be painted....


I dont have any of it painted off of the car..i thought i did.

Cant really see much but here it is in the car...

That looks as factory as it gets. I guess i'll get the autometer pod and look into doing that. BTW, which gauges are those? Thanks for the replies guys

Thanks for all the comments! We used a 3M 2 part plastic panel bonding agent. I cant remember the name but I can get it for you if you want. IT worked great!

I stand corrected, my bro checked at work today and this is what we used.. http://www.nortonautomotive.com/Data...00000000001794 Im not sure where you can get it. He works at a shop that does a lot of custom install stuff so we used that. He said the 3M stuff works just fine as well though.
