    I'm thinking about selling custom molded pillars but I'm wondering how many ppl would be interested. Most people say it's not safe to have them on there because of the airbags. But there's a small black plastic strap that holds the pillar on when the airbags deploy. I'm custom molding a pillar from a 03-07 Mazda3. I'll post pics in a few days when I'm done. You will have to send me the new gauge pod and your existing pillar of course.

    Im going to look into that strap before I say anything lol. But it would look nice, even if we dont really need them, Im kinda tired of going through my info button to get the car temp readout, and I wouldnt mind something like oil pressure, and hmm, dont know about the third one yet.

    Looks really good! But how would i benefit from this? I have NA car so whats the use? Maybe Voltage and oil but thats just Ricey in a way! Hmm maybe the RA's and EVO's will have more of advantage of this! But man it looks great!!!!! Very Pro Like! I would consider you a Pro in my Eyes keep it up!

    Thanx bro, I think some ppl with a NA might like it cuz they can use gauges instead of changing screens.

    If you go to glowshiftdirect.com you can buy an oil sandwich plate, and heres how the install goes...

    Install sandwich plate before oil filter
    Install gauge pod with gauges
    Red wire from gauge goes to 12v switched
    Black wire goes to Ground
    Yellow is 12v constant
    Green goes to oil pressure sensor on sandwich plate
    Ground the other terminal on sensor
    and wa-la

    Were estimating from time of arrival, about 2 days before its on its way back to you. Were trying to find an OEM paint to match, prolly an extra $15 to paint OEM, otherwise there primed to paint
