It's confirmed, I have a new Auto Meter D-PIC ordered to ship when AM releases them (April 14, iirc). I've also ordered a new A pillar and a set of Marauder single and dual pillar pods. I now have a dual A pillar pod that's coming out for this new gauge; the new A pillar triple pod will have the D-PIC on top, Dakota Digital Tranny Temp gauge next, then the Dakota Digital Tire Pressure/Tempurature Guage on bottom. The will put the D-PIC in easy reach to access the control buttons.
The reason I'm buying a new A pillar and pods rather than convert my old setup?
I'm so impressed with the look of Legal Knevil's leather wrapped A pillar triple pod that I am having the same upholstery shop do my new triple pod and both A pillars. I probably will go with something a bit different than a direct copy of LK, though there's not a chance anybody would ever confuse the two cars...
Talking to Todd this weekend, selling my old dual pod is a PITA, so I've decided that at a future Breakfast Club interested persons will toss their name in a hat and the winner will go home with a ready to install A-pillar with dual gauge pod, already painted to match the interior.
I will, of course, post up pics of the conversion and install of this gauge.
