Default Tasteful gauge pods?

Can anyone point me in the direction of some tasteful gauge pods for our C5s? I really only need a single for my wide band.

Here's what I did. Small pedestal mount off eBay. Cup holder is useless anyways.

Talk to DoubleDMods, vendor on here. He could modify your center console, modify your A Pillar, etc. Lots of options.

the ones he does for the center console look sweet but aren't in the best range of view... I opted for his dual gauge pillar and speedhut gauges... I wish he offered the pillars with a vinyl cover like the factory piece so it would be an exact match but other than that it looks good, most people wouldn't notice the difference

Those center console gauges look so good. I prefer the factory look they give to the a pillar gauges, mostly just because every ricer of all time has put useless a pillar gauges up and it's ruined the look for me.

I also always loved these gauges that replaced the vents in the cougar, but at the expense of losing some HVAC usage.

I had tweeters molded into the A-pillars in my wife's C5. DD could do a custom setup for your gauge similar to that.












I had DD do this custom bezel for my C5 for my current project. I will be mounting dual WB gauges there. I figured I don't really use them frequently and they are not as critical as the gauges going in my triple pod A-pillar so I kept them out of the way.
