A Pillar Pod and Gauges

[matty61184]

I would like to get the A pod and gauges for my 99' GLS, preferably the 3 gauge version, but also the two gauge version. I would like to know what a good site would be to find the pod as well as the gauges. I just bought the electroluminescent gauges that can be colored either blue or green and would like to have the pod gauges coordiate to that. Is this going to be a hard find? Also, what kind of gauges do you all suggest (I am sure it varies by preference, etc). I was just looking for some extra style and feedback about my car. I would prefer to put gauges in that are easier to wire in and whatnot, but I can do most anything with the proper directions. You can also email me if you'd like with any suggestions. Thanks!

personally i like the 3 pod pillar, looks more "full" when installed

[johny_boy32]

I myself would add 3 gauge pod. More info, and it looks cool, especialy some nice blue glow gauges. I would like to do it in my alero but I am not sure how to hook up the gauges. I asked around here but no one replied to my tread. Would you guys know how to hook these gauges up? I would like to put in Air Ratio meter, Oil Pressure meter, and either a Voltage meter, or Oil water temperature. Can we use the electric kind that plugs to the GM harness somewere, or de we need to go the root where we have to drill a hole in the hoses/pipes to install the senders. Any advice would be super helpful???

Thank you.

the 3 gauge pillar does hinder your view a little. but i notice it when in parking lot and some one comes walking out in front off you from the driver side.

far as installin the gauges. the air/fuel you can get a pigtail from pfyc.com that plugs in and has the wire there to tap in so you don't have to mess with factory harness.

volt is a piece of cake.

oil pressure is more involved, especiallity on 2.4

i would recommend auto-meter gauges but my i really like my faze gauges. same quailty, it seems.

Man these gauges of yours look sick. I wish I could get these done for my car, looks rally good. Seems like a lot of light but that is all good. You must be getting a lot of attention on a road, any problems from cops.

Thank you for the info on install, very, very helpfull. I had no idea that these gauges are so pricy, especialy here in Canada they like to put double price on everything because that market is just expanding here.

Thanks again.

[Oldsman]

haven't had any probs from the cops.

hey scott...wanna install mine?? :D

[Oldsman]

sure john. no problem. i have done 2 of them. just bring it on down and I will hook you up.

Get the 3, if your going to buy a new pillar, might as well get 3 gauge pods right?

Autometer has a great selection for a pretty reasonable price. I have the 3 gauge pod with autometers sport comp gauges. I'll post pictures later, but check them out. Or if you have lots of money to blow, HKS, APEXi, Defi, and BLITZ have awesome show gauges. But like i said, those are more for show, autometer has great prices, check summitracing.com.

What gauges were you looking at getting?

[jturkey69]

actually a vac/boost gauge can be extremely important. It can indicate multiple problems in your intake manifold.
