Hey that's a good idea on the radio bezel gauges.. they also sell the ones where we take the stock radio out and you can fit 3 gauges there.. I would just have to relocate the stock player somewhere.. but good idea..thanks for reminding me.

the stereo spot is kind of pointless i dont think you want to be looking down that far everytime you looks at a guage.

Yeah it'd be nice if they madeone like that for a 2gn.. or I don't think it would be hard to make one. So many ideas. Ill have to just sit in my car and think where I want them at. Maybe just 2 gauges..where the srt4 has the stock boost gauge. That's a good enough place.

price is pretty good , it would be quite abit of work to make them , and i think a pillar pod is 40-55 anyway.

I can't remember where I saw this but someone had rigged a twin SRT boost gauge cluster on the opposite side of the instrument panel. It looked more stock than something on the pillar or on the top of the dash. Just a suggestion (using the gauges you want in these rather than a boost gauge).

damn thats a sweet set up i think im going to look into that set up.. for real the a-pillar clusters are nice cause they are simple and work, but so is running in spandex, and it turns out they are just not for me lol
