I got mine, contacted him thru PMs here, my problem was the package needed to be signed for and I missed it twice so I had to go up to the post office and pick it up.

at first had some problems getting it to fit but after alittle messing with it I finally got it to sit right.

I got my fiberglass gauge pod today, looking good.

How did you guys mount the gauges? I want to be sure they stay in there firmly, but don't wanna use glue/epoxy.

They stay in real firm. You can also use the mounting bracket to hold them in i believe.

Has anyone actually tried these pillars? The lower gauge is too low, it hits the dash, I would need to cut off 1 inch or so out of the dash corner to make it fit..

I got the FG also, how did you make it fit? Isn't the lower gauge hitting the dash?

^^^

well when i had it in the car first it, pretty much did not stay in place, had a gap in between it and behind the pillar...

so pretty much i had to drill holes into it and keep the stock pillar there...not the best method but it works for me (i never plan to enter my car into car shows)...yes the bottom pod is to low, but it works for me cuz my OIL PSI gauge is in there...the placement of all pods are in bad positions for me, cuz of my height and right now i only pay attention to my volt gauge cuz what is going on with my alt belt problem...it was not worth the money but it looks alot better then what i had before (civic universal pod) and that did not sit flush at all

Mine looks like it would fit great, except that lower gauge..

Well.. there's $120 down the drain


EPIC FAIL
