    Outstanding. I assume the Charger and Magnums are identical? Now I just got to figure how to mod one of the pods for the DashHawk.

    I did see those. It's unclear if that piece would fit the LX's, it's unclear if the Edge/DashHawk can be easily taken out and put back in (to hook up to the desktop for logging and config), and they need a 2 1/16" pod right above it :) sigh... Yes, I was waiting for someone to try it for fit.

    If you want to get real creative. Get the autometer pod, get the Edge pod, take it to a fiberglass guy and get him to mold the Edge piece into the pod. Sand and finish, lol. Pain in the but, but Im sure it could be done.

    I love all of AutoMeter gauges and couldn't wait to get mine installed a couple of weeks ago... I was using their Original Wide Band gauge at first than upgraded to the digital...Right now I'm using both, basically a Dual setup with two different gauges thou...here are some pics...I had to go alittle custom,ran out of room on the pillar...

    BTW Air Vents are over rated :grin:....I always set my controls to defront/floor anyway...

    I did check out the Duplicolor stuff prior to taking a trip to Home Depot. The thing is, can't tell what will match the interior by the web-site. So at Home Depot I bought Krylon Fusion paint (for plastics) and matched it as best as I could to the stock pillar. The paint looks good and the job came out good, but it is not an exact match - although close. What will drive me nuts is the shine. The stock pillars have none. After painting the Autometer pillar, there is a shine to it. I know once I put it in it will drive me nuts. So, I'm thinking of taking both the Autometer pillar and the passenger side pillar and painting them a flat Black. Has anyone done this?
