does anybody make a single, dual or triple gauge A pillar pod for the x3 accent??
are there any a pillar pods that ROUGHLY fit. or can be modded to fit decently??
having the boost gauge dead smack center of my speedo is getting kind of annoying.. because i had to pull off the clear plastic cover from the cluster to fit the gauge. and dust is getting all over the gauges and needles now.
plus i've got a wideband.. and an oil pressure gauge.. and im having trouble figuring out where to mount them so that i can properly see them.. i've thuoght of making a plate in the center dash vents for the car.. but then i realized i dont want warm air constantly seeping thru and hitting the back of the gauges.. and they're not at an ideal angle to view accurately at a glance.. plus when you see them from that angle. they give a minutely false reading... because you see the needle not dead on.. but from the side.. so it's not where you see it from where you sit.

I think the regular universal ones are your best bet. I've seen them screwed into the pillar or molded in depending on how picky you are about looks.
