As title. Does anyone with pillar pods have any pics from outside their Cruze? I want to see how visible the gauges are from outside the drivers window. I'm interested in getting some but I don't want it too visible from outside the car.
That looks nice and clean! There is just something about the look of gauges on the a-pillar that i love though!I was toying around with the idea to do pillar pods and one of those nice cobalt boost gauges. I decided against it since there's an airbag located in the pillar and I couldn't shake the image of getting blasted in the face with a boost gauge. Also running an analog gauge required a lot more work with the tubing and the wiring. I went with an ultra-gauge instead and mounted it here.

I would have totally gone for it if it weren't for the air bag! I agree, I love the look of the pillar pod much better and the analog gauge responds instantly to boost changes. Watching a needle go up and down is much more satisfying than watching a number periodically updateThat looks nice and clean!

thats a really nice gauge for the price! My aeroforce was like $250 and it does basically the same thing but it fits in the pillar pod. lol!I would have totally gone for it if it weren't for the air bag!

The Ultra-gauge is actually pretty neat! It was only $79 bucks when I bought it too, might be even cheaper now.
Where you have that Ultra gauge would be as much of a hazard in an accident as the pillar would be. CD slot mount would be about the only good place that would guarantee not eating your device in an accident.I was toying around with the idea to do pillar pods and one of those nice cobalt boost gauges.
