Default Gauge Pod

Is there really any difference in the pillar pods that hold your gauges.
Thought about going to three gauges and looked on e bay and found several in the 40/50 dollar range for three


One is from glow gauges. Just wondering if one was actually made better than the other. ?

Dave did a great job at picking the autometer gauges and they match with the little bit of yellow in them but I love the gauges in the roadster so ordered 3 of them yesterday and going three up on the left side like the two are now.
Double D, send me your price on the three if you would. 2000 vette so has to have that ac vent in there.

Thanks,,, those look great but i"m wanting the one on the side by the window. The kit thats ordered for the inside already has the center customed so I'm leaving down stairs alone. Suppose I"m old school but I still like the EQ under the stereo and where i can adjust it . Single pop up 7 inch screen with the eq will fill that space and thats what I'm trying to do on that one. Still have not seen the speakers mounts??

do you have a pic of your center bezel area taken from the rear hatch? i'm thinking about painting my bezel but i'm worried it won't look right since the air vent isn't part of the bezel.

Thats the kit i"m getting. That photo is from their page. MIne is suppose to be in the mail and here friday.
Ran into a problem with the gauge pod. No one that has the three has the ac vent in it. Why in the world would they cover up the ac vent.
Might have to end up with two on the window and mount the air/fuel somewhere else.

If you figure out a way to mount a third gauge somewhere, please let me know. I have a a/f gauge I need to mount that cannot go in pillar pods.
