Ok....I don't have a supercharger...and plan to stay N/A for a while. I see alot of people are the same way, yet they put in A-pillar gauges.

Why? Aren't the gauges for boost? Why would you need them?

You can also put in a vacuum guage. Some boost guages also read vacuum..

SurfnSoCal

alright...I am a total noob when it comes to this stuff. What would the vacuum gauge read? I thought boost/vacuum was for turbo/SC applications.

Or water temp...
Or oil temp...
Or oil pressure..
Or exhaust temp...
Or air/fuel ratio..
Or voltage...
Or DPIC...
Or just about anything else that you would want to monitor on your vehicle because the factory gauges are nothing more than analog idiot lights.

Because there is still not a good "Fit-Look" for the dash yet. And I know we've covered this before, but stock gauges are just dressed up Idiot Lights. You will want Oil and Water pressure that are ACCURATE, and for me the CDC and Sallen versions for Dash set-ups are not in "Natural Eye Contact" line of sight like the A-Pillar's are. IMHO

That speed sound one is as close to fit-look as I have seen.

PonyGirl

that speed sound one looks funny when looking into the window. VERY ROUND!! Hmm.....not sure about those.

Thanks Doc. I was wondering how that Raptor-Claw would look. Guess I'll have to go back and order that too.

Couple more pictures and a brief write up that I posted here

Doesn't autometer have an A-pillar guage pod? Anyone have pictures installed?

There is an old post somewhere here; but here is a pic of the Autometer installed on my car.

the speed of sound one looks way better. It actually replaces the whole factory piece, where the auto meter one is just held on with double sided tape. It looks a lot cleaner and has the same texture as stock.

I agree, there product looks OEM, but better.

speedofsound

Actually, that's a very accurate assessment. I start with an OEM pillar and modify it on a CNC mill. This is why I'm so confident it fits perfectly! LOL

Thanks for the support and kind words from all. It's exciting to see word of my product is getting out there.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have them.

Alan, when will the universal's be available and will you be able to get the universal's with the same texture as the A pillar gauges? Just for the uniform look I'd like to do the A-pillar and then a universal set in the center of the dash as well.

I am also interested in the universal one for the centre of the dash like the saleen.

I like the autometer look better than those bullets by SOS, but not the tape on part.....they'll have to do better than that to get my order.
