I can kinda help with that. The airbag runs along the top of the window, and barely, if not at all, protrudes into the A pillar area. The a pillar moves out slightly when the airbag is deployed.

If you want, just pull away on the a pillar to remove. Its clipped in place with a few clips. It might also be easier to "roll" the pillar away from the body, it'll unclip itself.

Excellent. This pillar could solve my "where do I put a wideband gauge" issue.

Alstann has it right. The factory A-pillar is tethered to the metal behind allowing it to pop out one inch when the airbag in the headliner is activated. The custom A-Pillar functions exactly the same way because it is a factory pillar with a pod moulded to it and uses the same mounting hardware.

That's what I use mine for. Others are using it for a boost gauge.

I already have a boost gauge in the factory spots. I actually like the idea of putting a AFR gauge separate anyways because they don't match my Defis. Can you PM me price for single-pod on left hand side?

On a related note, what's the best looking AFR gauge these days? I had an Innovative in my old STi, but always thought it was a little dated looking.

I have the Innovate MTX gauge. It is dated looking but, I was told it's the best A/F gauge on the market so I'm putting up with the look. A few guys are using the digital Innovate A/F gauge. I can't comment on the function of it but cosmetically it is nice.

The top pod has the Innovate Motorsports DB A/F gauge.

Just wanted to give a bit of feedback since I have just bought and installed this A pillar gauge pod from m3chhawk. GREAT piece of work, matches the original finish perfect and the aem digital boost gauge 52mm fit perfect.. Sorry I ever doubted your craftsmanship or pricing.. Will post up some pics tomorrow..
