Speed of Sound = Best there is. It doesnt attache to the pillar, it replaces the whole thing. I have a 3 guage SOS pillar in my 06 GT with Autometer Cobalt guages and fit and finish is OEM clean.

Think I got mine from Late Model Restoration for about $140. Lil more money then others but by far worth it.

None, i had an A-arm pillar2 yrs ago. i installed a D-pic, cobalt N20 guage and, fuel psi guage in the pillar. After a spirited drive or two I hated it. At night the guage lights were too distracting, and every time i made sharp turns or power slid my knuckles would bash the pillar pod. I sold the fuel guage and down graded to A two pillar bezel that is holds a guage on each side of the instrument cluster and driveng could'nt get any sweeter.

thanks guys for the great responces! im not sure which way im going yet but my pod needs replacing. i know im going to a gauge on the column but not for sure on the speed of sound piller pod or autometer one that goes around the cluster. seems like both are great products.

mustangman, i agree with you on tony's suggestion. its a cleaner, sleeper look but i like the piller pod for the quick glances for tuning purposes. but then again, i shouldnt be tuning on it that much. btw tony, i took in consideration on your coment about your knuckles hitting but where im in a wheelchair and use my left for the hand controls, i havent had any trouble with that using my current pod
