    Who has a triple gauge pillar pod on their Charger?...if so, what brand and where did you get it?.. I bought a Pro Parts from a vendor here and it looks retarded as heck....no way I will keep this on my car...

    The gauges face up and to the right....seemed to fit in place ok...

    Are you worried about the clocking of the gauges or the actual location of the pods themselves?

    It is how the gauges mount...they face away from me upwards and to the right....to look straight into the gauge I would need to move my head above the steering wheel.....

    That looks like the one I have, besides the fact that it sorta blocks your view, I have no issues seeing any of the gauges.

    Well I called them, I really just looking for a single myself to mount my Trinity, and that is the only one they make, he said if they could get a couple hundred calls for the triple or single then they would make them, lol So let's start calling, :D, I don't blame you for your thoughts on that one you have, hope you can send it back....

    Here is another option, I know this is more expensive. But this is a stock pillar pod that has the gauge pods made onto the stock pillar for best fitment. Gauges are tucked closer to pillar so they do not get in the way of sight as much as other options out there. Then the felt matchs the headliner of the car:

    The one you have is plastic :)

    Sitting in the car of two cars - one with a ProParts, and one with this Pod is completely different :)

    I have sat in both! And we sell (and have in stock) both units as well :)

    How does that one mount?

    Does it mount with those plastic body pin things or does it totally replace the existing A Pillar with the clips in place?

    If you have one that just cips in place like a standard A pillar piece ill take it right now lol.

    steve - the speedlogix one is an actual stock pillar that is hand done to mount the gauges. it is a good fit. the issue i have seen with some first hand is the material the manufacturer uses to "match" the interior tends to look stretched and "textured". i know its the nature of trying to stretch a material over a complex shape, but its the only issue i have witnessed. the fit though is tight...... not like all the other pillar set ups that need to be grafted to the stock pillar in order to mount decently.

    Cut slots in A-pillar cover.
    Drill and bolt brackets directly to A-pillar.
    Replace cover with brackets through slots.
    bolt on gauges.
    go custom.
