Automatic Seat Belt - Gauge Pod?

I know there's a lot of information out for the standard seat belt gauge pods, but I have autos and I'd rather keep them, as I'm very lazy to buckle up the top half...and besides that I'll more than likely be getting racing seats with a roll cage/harness later on down the road.

Not adjustable, fully automatic seat belt's in the 1990 version. If it fits fine with the auto then I'm going to go ahead and just get the normal one but I wanted to be sure before I ordered...so you're positive right?

It'll hold two gauges on the a-pillar, but it'll look like ****. The moldings are too different and it won't line up properly. I've had decent success in cutting it in half and using a heat gun to heat it up and remold it to the a-pillar, but that's about it.

There are other options for mounting gauges in your fc.

There are pods that replace your "idiot" cluster (up to 3 gauges).

There are din sized 3 gauge panels that fit into the radio opening with a single din radio.

That is 6 gauges that you can easily fit without those awful a-pillar gauge pods.

You can replace your oem clock with a digital gauge (a/f or voltage).
