Where the heck can I put these gauges???
I have an Aeroforce scangauge with the fuel pressure add on and a boost gauge that I need to put in so I can monitor some things. Got an A&A kit on and dont want to hear a kaboom.
I have an 04. I bought a 2 gauge apillar piece from Corvette Mods and that thing is not
even close to fitting. DDmods is out of my price range. Has anybody had any luck with universal pods? Any other places Im not thinking of to mount some gauges? I need to get these set up soon so throw out some ideas.
Glowshift has a single pod I was thinking of getting 2 and mounting them on the apillar. I dont like the wire visible though.

I've been saving these links for the day when I'll need to add gauges. I don't know what the difference between your 04 will be to these gauges, but maybe you can call the vendor to see if they might have more detailed pics or measurements, etc.

I suppose down in the ashtray cavity is out of the question?
(It may just be my preferred seating position, but it always seems like the A-pillar creates a blind spot out of all proportion to its actual size...the instrument pods would just make it wider.)

2 gauge pillar works great.
This unit fits right over the stock pillar.

What brand is that Mr.Bill and where did you get it? What year is your car? I might go that route, it doesnt look bad at all.
Ill try and post some pics later of how horrible the one I have now fits.

I bought it used, I thought I saw them at Summit Racing. Mine goes up half way and has an opening for the vent on the pillar. Snaps in place.
Mine is a 2002.

What are the differences between the 97-02 and 03-04 pillars? It seems everything is for the earlier years and thats what I bought the first time and it didnt fit.

PM sent to DD. I went to your site and noticed that the console gauges are a couple hundred bucks if I send mine in. I had looked before and must have saw the $500 one and decided against it. Hmmm, this is another option now. Not sure on the pillar or console now.
