Tried a dual gauge pod. I'm happy with how it turned out. More on the first page.

Not to threadjack but...
Well I've heard rumors you can retain your factory warranty with a Stillen supercharger, any idea how true that is? Another big thing for me is reliability...
I am biased to the turbo sound though, no comparison. I need to shop around for pricing as well... I would like to spend around 7K (not including clutch or exhaust) and My goals are about 450-500 on pump. =P

Back on topic, yes, I book marked this. I must have one! I don't mind paying a pretty penny to someone who provides good build quality and takes pride in their work. :tup:

Do some searching on the site for Stillen supercharger. I think there was a member who had one installed and he destroyed his engine. I think it was install related and the Nissan dealer who installed it was giving him a hard time about warranting the repairs.

As for the pillar, let me know when you're ready :tup:

What if you tried to put the gauge pods closer together so they look like they are stacked on top of each other? Would that work?

Yes, it works. I also tried side by side.

The only issue with what you're suggesting is it blocks quite a bit of vision at that corner. If your'e ok with the blind spot, then no problem.

The single pod is the least intrusive option..

How is the side by side then? Or does that look weird?

I personally think it looks better than running up the pillar (at least from the drivers seat). It is different and might not be everyones cup of tea. I did a temporary mock-up for a forum member and took a picture. I'll see if I still have the picture.

I would love to have something like this. Planning on installing a oil pressure gauge here soon

I recently made a Premium Dual gauge A-Pillar.

Here is how it looks through the windshield,

Custom? You mean an OEM option right? ;)

simota1 06-03-2013 02:55 AM

that is so sexy bro :) great job

Jason, got my a-pillar today. Everything is PERFECT. Pictures do no justice.

Everyone else, if you ever consider doing business with Jason you will not be disappointed. The level of customer service, communication, end product, everything is beyond what you could expect. Hell he even helped me with other car problems I was having, completely unrelated to the a-pillar.
