I bought the autometer 2 gauge pod. I mind eyes, 2 gauges are the max. I hate seeing 3 gauges on the pillar, that's gay.

I have the one you are looking at. It's quite nice, no rattling and matches the original trim. One problem, you have to drill a hole at a really awkward angle to get the middle screw in.

I have the FM one, and modded my stock a-pillar plastic to work. Looks fine, works fine. Never notice it on the track, I wish I had done something different when I'm taking a left turn at slower speeds and occasionally on the freeway. Small sacrifice for the $20 price savings. I think the FM piece used to be cheaper than $40.

No, I don't notice it too much, but I also don't drive it much.

Someone on MT.net did that....Kinda looked like Mickey Mouse ears. In a good way. Was it Mighty Mouse? Either I'm thinking of him because he actually did it or just because they reminded me of Mickey Mouse...
