can you post some pics of it? Is it the entire pillar or just a cast with two holes for the gauges?

Doesn't it snap in like the stocker? I have one in a box downstairs but never bothered looking that closely at it. I've had my stocker off to install my shift light and it's not the best design, for sure.

I had mine attached with just 3mm tape, but it ended up peeling off and sagging. I eventually had it bolted to the a-pillar. I had flat black screws so it fits nice, and looks good too.
