This is my fibreglass "A" pillar pod from a ricer shop (copy of the GReady style). Was made to suit a Skyline GTR but a bit of filing here and there made it fit ok.

BTW Qld. Tpst. had no problem with them when I went over the pits for the BL approval and they went through the whole rig.

Some good ideas out there i was going to plush mount them in the dash like Guts, but i found it too hard to have a quick look at them while driving, And the Dash pod like crozza wouldn't work in certain modles like a lux, because of the shape of the dash. I would go with a pillar pod of a small pod over the top of the dash where the speedo is. I'm making one at the moment. Will post pics on sunday if all goes to plan
