I,ve run into the same problem im sure many 370Z owners have faced when they started looking for a way to mount thier aftermarket performance gauges. There are none to be found. I came across the custom bulilt a pillar gauge mounts on this thread and was pretty impressed! can anyone give me a litte insite on how they went about building thier so i can do the job right and not break my stock pillars. Thanks in advance

I'm telling you guys. Go to your favorite 370z parts depot and order up some pillar covers. They should be cheap they were $20 each for my Challenger.

Then graft on some pods with JB weld and use a hole saw to cut through the pillar cover for the wires.

Cover in suede or material to match the head liner.

DONE for under $100.

You would be better off using 3M's 5887 plastic repair it is basically flexible bondo for plastic and if you want textured use SEMS 39853 textured spray this the best stuff to use for this type of repair.
