Default C7 Pillar Pods--Who ?
Who is going to start making pillar pods for the C7's. I need one for 3 gauges and with black suede, Theres beginning to be a lot of use with supercharger that want to install boost gauges and WB-O2's and guys with nitrous and meth, But don't want to pay 400 or $500.00 for it.lol....

We are having custom ones made right now. I am not sure on the price. I am sure my one of our sales staff will be posting pictures with pricing when finished.

It's going to vary from mfg to mfg. Do you already have a suede interior? I didn't and recovered all my panels.

Yes, when I ordered the Stingray I ordered the Comp seats with suede inserts & upper suede trim package.

Did you use a pod from another pillar pod and modify it to fit the C7 A pillar or did you fab it out?

Took a universal pod and molded it to the stock A Pillar.

As far as the suede, you might want to contact some of the custom vendors and ask them if you want to have it match exactly.
