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.

Great to hear! Thank you for the kind words Austin! It was a pleasure dealing with you too.

No I haven't. I've just been helping our people on this forum. I don't know anyone with a G37, and I don't frequent any G37 forums. I just need to find someone in Toronto area that wants one to get the ball rolling. Do you know of anyone?

There is also a chance that I *might* be able to make one if I had a G37 A-Pillar trim and detailed photos of the dash.

Hi,

I'm VERY interested in the dual gauge pillar.. I do have a few questions...

Could you do a RHD Option..?

Is the colour and texture matched to the existing and surrounding trim..?

Is it compatible with my 2013 370Z that has the airbags in the A-Pillar..?

Are you able to give me a price of what you'd charge for something like that..?

Thanks for your time..

Thanks for the pm but $350 for a single pod to me is WAY over priced. I'll go another route for that price...

m3chhawk · 06-16-2013, 02:36 PM

Given the time, materials, build quality, it's definitely not over priced. There's almost $100 in Nissan parts alone. This isn't an ABS molded pillar......

I can do a RHD option. It will take a little longer than normal because everything would need to be built from scratch.

The colour is very close to stock. I personally don't notice a difference from one side to the other and I haven't had a complaint about the colour match yet. If you are really concerned I can dye both pillars. I'm very picky when it comes to stuff like this for my car, the colour matches perfectly (for my picky eyes) and I didn't bother dyeing the other pillar.

The pillar is fabricated using factory Nissan parts as a base allowing for the new Pillar to be installed exactly the same way as the original one. It does not impede the function of the airbags.

PM sent.

You can get some universal gauge cups and glue/screw/mould them to the existing pillar. Cheaper, yes.

Thanks Austin! I tried my best to fabricate a quality piece that doesn't stand out but blends nicely with the 370z interior.

overpriced? are you kidding me? thats artwork plain and simple. i'll be contacting you Mr Force.

AWIZRD · 07-28-2013, 01:09 PM

These are awesome hand-made custom pieces justifying the cost IMHO. Now the big question, do I get a single or double..>Decisions, decisions! I know I want oil pressure....BUT...that TT is itching to jump into my car someday.....

Can you pm me a price for both single and double to AZ?

Thanks

mr.gale those a-pillar pods you make look amazing!

great work.

Nixlimited · 07-31-2013, 01:04 PM

Wow, very high quality. I know you answered this already, but just because I haven't seen behind the pillar, can you explain in a little more detail why this would not interfere with the a-pillar airbag?
