Default Pod / Gauge help

TTT

What type of dual pillar pods and gauges is everyone using? I checked out the ones at Exotic Performance...looks like they have good prices and a descent product...autometer gauges. I understand the gauge install, but how does the pillar pod attach to the OEM pillar?

Thanks,
The Big Dog

I used large strips of velcro so I can take it on and off easily. My new pillar did not have any clips (Autometer). It does not move at all when I am driving. Hope this helps .

I used Velcro as well and took off the oem pillar. Only one screw passing thru my shift light mount that is holding it to the frame besides velcro. Looks really clean and easy to take off if needed.

All I know is that up to 02, a 3 gauge is available, but not for 03.

I have both models and 03 has a slightly different shape at the top. no clue on 04
