looks like the wiring could go down the column, and where the light knob is

what if you get in a wreck, and the air bag goes off, in the a-pillar? that'll hurt like a bitch, if it hits you in the face. lol

edit: if there is an airbag there.

I guess I'll have to dust off a gauge pod design I was working on last year as there appears to be a market for other alternatives...

I'm the complete opposite on that lol. If I have a modded car, I'd like it to look the part. Only time I'd want a stock look is if I'm grudge racing which with this car, I'd never do. I personally would still love the pillar gauges. They're also very functional. I don't want to be wot having to look down at the steering wheel

I think you can see those gauges through your peripherals.

at least with a manual, you'll glance down to see when to shift. unless you have one of those giant tachs and a shift light.

I want a wideband myself, and there is no pillar-pod available for convertibles, plus the "center-speaker delete" designs I've seen looked like ass and I'm not sure ever made it to production. I have a Autometer Cobalt wideband AFR that I designed the pod around, so I guess that's yet another thing I haven't installed yet...
