The pillar pod is not going to prevent airbag deployment. The worse thing that might happen is you damage a gauge when it goes off. If you get into something that requires airbag deployment then ruining a gauge is probably the least of your worries.

Agreed too so I didn't say that. I just wasn't looking forward to being smack in the head with three gauges and pill pod and the airbag LOL

That shouldn't happen. Gale does not modify the factory attachment points at all. The pillar will perform as designed during an impact and deployment. You will have no more change of getting hit with the pillar than you would without gauges on it.
