Custom A pillar project

[CanadaMarauder]

I hate the look of the boost gauge clipped onto the a-pillar and not a fan of the center console one. So I have decided to take on the customization project of making a factory looking one. Heres a glimps of where I'm at right now.

Yup, can get up to three gauge pods. Outstanding workmanship, they come in either Dark Charcoal or Light Flint.

Only want the one though. But those do look awesome!

Could have done the top steering column gauge place as well. Looks good though!

OK I see, just curious how do you plan to get the oem texture back seeing as your using the filler to build up around the pod

Thanks for the link for the triple pillar pod, just ordered one.

Not sure yet I think I will paint heavily then use a piece of vinyl on it then pull it off. Let dry then re-paint with oem colour. Tried on another panel piece and looked good.

I did this to my double gauge two years ago and it has now began to crack unfortionately. I used gorilla glue, fiberglass mess, followed by bondo. I dabbed the paint with a paper towel (multiple coats) Looked so-so

Good luck on yours. I will be wrapping both sides with leather and seat matched stitching soon.

I used plastic fuser. But I will see how it goes. Worst case scenario I will buy the 3 pod just find it too much is all. Not money wise just over doing it.

Lotec For the win. I love mine and the fit and color match is perfect!!
