A-Pillar Gauge Pods?

spearfish25 · 03-23-2011, 08:59 AM

Removing the dash requires 36 steps, all outlined in the service manual. It doesn't look difficult...just very involved. How did they install the Defi gauges without dash removal? They must have torn the stock gauges to shreds getting them out from above and then just glued everything back together. Barf.

How bad does it look having a gauge positioned between and behind the three pod gauges?

Saw an Evo with all those gauges the other day. The most hilarious thing is…he had a fire extinguisher on the passenger side pillar, LOL…first thing I’m doing if there is a fire is GTFO!, not reach or even run around to get it.
