Default A Pillar Gauge Pods

Looking for sources of A pillar dual gauge pods for an 09 C6.

Also gauges to fit that match the OEMs as close as possible.

AutoMeter makes the pillar pods. When it comes to the gauge that best matches the factory look is highly debatable. I chose the AM Sport Comp.

a pillar gauge pod doesn't fit the C6 very well. There is usually a gap near the base by the windshield. Plus there is a 2 1/2" knockout in the pod for a speaker, but if you don't have that provision you are stuck with the cut-out. I would search for a different brand.

I used the autometer pod and autometer sportcomp II gauges. The gauges are a pretty good match.

Since I didn't have the gps mic in the pillar I purchased a gps pillar, a mic, and a mic bezel from GM to fill the hole.

I have the nav system but this is what I said years ago. Easy fix for a minor problem.
