I have actually been looking around for a extra A-Pillar cover and plan on stripping the current leather/vinyl off. Then take the A-Pillar gauge pod and modifying it and fiberglassing to the cover and then having the whole thing wrapped in Leather or Alcantra and then just wrap the passenger side as well so they match. Because I agree that the stick on Gauge Pod looks real cheap but that is really the best place for gauges to keep an eye on everything. Will let everyone know and post pics after I have it done. Anyone got an extra A-Pillar panel laying around.

Mine is not exactly hidden. It's flush mounted between the radio station change **** and the engine start button. It's a PLX Devices model DM-100. It's about 3/4" thick. It has the ability to show four gauge values at once, or any single gauge in analog or digital. It is controlled by a wired remote that hides in the glove box when not in use. It will plot values of any particular gauge as well as show peak values. I'm just now starting to figure out how to use it. It's rigged to show vacuum, boost, and AFR now. I'd like to add fuel pressure.
I'd provide a link, but I'm not a very high tech redneck. plxdevices.com/multigauges.html. There's a YouTube video on their site that explains its capabilities beter than I ever could.
I have the pillar mount gauges on my supercharged truck. I just didn't think there was enough room on the vette in that same spot. I like this placement just fine. Now, if I can just take the time to get comfortable with the remote control and take advantage of everything this gauge package can do.

There's money to be made for the person that figures a way to integrate the gauges into the Heads Up display. As for the pillar pod, I have a three gauge set up and I manage to hit my head against it most times when getting in and out, even with the seat all the way back.
