Sounds like you already decided on SOS... but here's a few of pics of the Autometer 3-pod (#12128). Pulled these off another forum. I agree that the SOS looks cleaner, but read a few posts regarding visibility obstruction on the lower-left... albeit, seems like you'd have to be leaning way left to have the pods be bothersome. Anyway, comes down to personal preference. Autometer is half the cost but is an "overlay" solution and requires push-pin clasps. I'm still on the fence between Dash vs Pillar pods.

Thanks for the pics, they don't look all that bad, I am just not crazy about the overlay and the fact the textures don't match.

Default To those w/ SOS dual pillar pod

So those who have installed the SOS dual pillar pod, any truth to the statements about the location of the pods and vision obstruction (or bothersome in one's peripheral vision)? Can't see how something in the lower left would create an issue, but have seen a few posts stating otherwise. Thx.

I got an SOS 3 pillar sitting in my room. Looks great in the box... Can't wait to see how it looks in the car.
