AZ Pillar Pod

Is there any pillar mounted gauge pod I can use in my S5? I made the mistake of ordering one that said it fit any 87-91 RX7, but they failed to realize automatic seat-belts make the pillar much larger....

I'm going to have to vote "no" unless...

a) you swap out to manual belts and pillars.
or
b) i'm just plain wrong.

Sorry guy, I don't think there are auto-belt pillar gauge pods out there. Lucky for you there are plenty of manual-belt swaps available. Look for something out of an S5 vert.
Best of luck,

I really do hate the power belts....

I still find it hard to believe that no one has ever needed/wanted one for their vehicle with auto belts?

Ya know, sometimes I just have "clear moments"... you want manual belts out of an S4 coupe, not an S5 vert.
Here's an old thread...

Gauge cups?

Easier solution than swapping belts and plastics...

using a heat gun, heat up the plastic and mold it to the shape of your pillar.
