Default GAUGE POD

Hey anyone have a pillar guage pod in their car? I was looking at the brenspeed pillar and autometer guages and that would run 300-400 dollars I think. I looked on glowshift.com and they have a 3 gauge pod with 3 gauges for $150. My friend's had glowshift in his car for 2 years now they look nice. SOunds pretty good to me what do you guys think?

Definitely dont want to hijack your thread but i'd like to know which one of these is easier to install, the pillar or the dash pod. Do you have to poke holes in your dash with the dash pod?

Pillar is much easier.
If you are determined you can wire the dash pods wityhout any holes. I ran mine up through the defrost vent. There is a little seam between the dash pad and the defrost vent you can squeez the wires right through.

Hey, I love the dash pod. Stupid question...do the gauges hook up to the sending units already installed (oil, water temp, and charging) or do you have to install new sending units?

My pillar pod is from SOS like sonicboost3 said.
No, you have to install electric sending units for any of the electric gauges. Only the ODBIII scanner gauges can use the PCM/onboard sending units.
