Default Custom "A" pillar gauge pods

I didn't like the smooth look so I added a textured coating it looks alot better,sanded textured finish with 400 grit sandpaper and refinished with satin black these things look,feel like oem,first 2 pics

Since I ordered my GTM supercharger I needed to get a couple of gauges (boost,A/F ratio)but I really couldn't find any where to put them.
I looked to see if they made a gauge pod for the 370z but they don't,so after taking the "A" pillar trim off to see where the curtain air bag was I found the end of it toward the top which is basically just the charge that sets them off,so I bought a dual pod "A" pillar cover for a 350z and proceeded to cut it apart and try to fit the gauges as far down the pillar as possible(so as not intrude with the air bag operation)after finding the location for the bottom one I 2 part epoxies it in then fit the top on as close as possible,then after some body work to both left and right pillar covers I primed them sanded them down with 400 grit sand paper and painted them satin black.
Finally installed a Innovate Motor sports A/F gauge ,Defi Boost /vacuum gauge It came out good here are some pics.
