I have a triple and don't like it. Not sure which brand it is. It's plastic, fastens over the existing pillar, and just don't look integrated IMO. But there's just not a lot of options out there.

I have the autometer guage pod with two guages. If you go this route make your you spend the 75 bucks and get the full a-pillar pod. You can spend 35 bucks and get the half a-pillar guage pod but it does not fit well at all and you will likely return it...just an fyi...

Bought a Glowshift double gauge pod and wasn't impressed with the fitment.It is still in the garage because I wouldn't install it.

I have the full Autometer double and have been pretty happy with it. Just be aware that it is a cover that pops over the factory pillar trim with some little plastic push pins. Take your time installing and it looks just fine
