Default Sill Pod Question???

Anybody have those sill pods with gauges? I'm thinking about getting one. Any advice? Thanks.

I'm guessing you are talking about the a-pod? I have the Science of Speed version. Only thing I can suggest is to cut out a defrost vent hole before installing.

HI SPEEDR,
I used the SOS pod and am very pleased with it. To get it to fit very nicely I cut about a 3" section out of the middle of the original A-pillar trim. Place the lower piece back on the car with the vent duct in place. I then used JB Weld to attach the upper piece of the original trim underneath the top of the SOS pod. (roughen up the surface of the trim piece first or the JB Weld won't stick well). Use a dremel to make a nice cutout for the vent. Slide the SOS pod into place and push the top part in to clip it into place with the underlying original trim clips. Having the middle section of the original trim piece removed opens a nice space for the gauge wiring to run through.

Dr. T are your gauges the Defi-Link Meter BF variety?
