A Piller Gauge Pod

I'm lookin at getting a procharger for my car, but with the 94 you can only buy the pods and not the whole piller. What i want is a dual gauge piller, anyone cut their piller and put one in, cause i would really like to make it look clean and not just a bolted on gauge pod. Any ideas for what i can do?

I just epoxied the 2-gauge pod to the stock pillar, filled the edges, sanded it down and repainted it with Eastwood Company vinyl paint.... perfect match.

You could also get a full pillar, and cut the lower end off your stocker and attach it to the new pillar, since the hole for the side window A/C vent is the main difference.

Here is what I did, this was a mock up pic, it is a bit different now. I also didn't want to just have the pods stock on and looking like crap. I decided to use this location instead.

The only place its "different" is where the filler was added and sanded down at the edges. Not noticable.

and this is a little off topic but in your pic i can see you have a roll cage. is that the door bars that swing out, and if it is how well do they fit in or is it just another thing to dodge gettin in the car?
