My buddy has it on his dsm. It's a universal pod. It takes 4 screws and thats how you put it on. It's not a replacement of any sort.

well it will fit...

but it's kinda shysty...
like you have to drill holes into your A-pillar and it will not flow with the interior of the car, you will have sharp edges and a piece of plastic sticking out from your A-pillar holding your gauges...

sorta fugly if ya ask me..

get creative and mount your gauges in unique places, maybe make your own side view mirror cover to hold one gauge (driv. side)... or mount them near the radio surround, or AC vents (if you're willing to give up one or two).

somebody's bwoosting. burnout.gif

you could always mold it to the pillar in the same manner people do on mp3car.com when they mold their screens into the dash. im guessing you dont want to go that route though.
