Alright guys… I spoke with those guys from MaximaTech… They don’t want to help us out until we agree to buy around 300… So I’m pretty sure that’s out.
But on a brighter side I was able to talk to a buddy of mine who is going to make me a Gauge Cluster for my A-Pillar. He is telling me it will be $150-$200, But It will be totally Custom. I told him about our little family here and he said he doesn’t do that kind of Jazz… But If I wanted to order more then one unit I can… So would anyone else be interested?
And even if your not interested… Any idea’s or in site would be graciously accepted!
Is it still a Custom Mod if you pay someone else to do the work for you?

'glassin an A pillar can be alot of work, $200 isn't so bad, especially if it can retain a close to stock finish. Looks great when done properly though.

Sorry Hasher no Pic yet... I still have to decided how to make the setup... I was thinking a nice 3 3/8 Tach down at the bottom... then 3... 2 3/4" gauges going up from there... Again... I am taking ideas!

If it turns out nice I'll be interested, I too am annoyed by the missing tach.

I've been bitching and moaning for a decent fitted A pillar for months.
How many slots is he throwing in it? I would like one to fit four 2 1/16" gauges.

Sounds like you guys need a ScanGaugeII, you can have a working tach in about 30 seconds, just plugs right into the OBDII connector under the dash!

I have OCD...so I left that up to him...
I wanted one (1) 3 3/8"
and Three (3) 2 1/16"
but if it can't work out because of whatever reason... I told him not to force it...
I can live with (1) 3 3/8 and (2) 2 1/16
I have the VDO MILLENIUM Tach
The Scan gauge is bigger on my Computer Screen then it is in Real Life... By the time I try and read it, I would have crashed into a Ditch... The Scan Gauge is good for somethings... BUT NOT AS A TACHOMETER!

Digital tachs are a waste. I love the styling, but I hate the refresh rates.
If digital tachs didn't suck, I'd have a HUD right now.
I'm excited to see this pillar. I refuse to go buy one of the tacky-looking universal pods from Summit.

I am trying to find a spare driver glove box lid and have one done in CF with a Tach, Temp and Oil in it.

If this Doesn't work... then that is my 2nd Option!
But I am not ready to loose a glove box just yet!

I saw a mag a few weeks ago with a car that had litle "mushroom" gauge pods on the dash - 1 gauge to each pod. They were little "balls on legs" (no sniggering, children!) in a grey/silver plastic. Anyone have any leads on something like that? One with a tach centred above the drivers glove box would suit me fine.
TIA, hopefully,
Steve

Heres my idea.....
A custom mounted tach in a pod that replaces the far left heater\ac vent. I never point that vent towards me and I see about all its good for is defogging the drivers window. How bout a custom pod there that merely routes all heater\ac air towards the window? Would look pretty pimp I think.

Tried that... the hole is too small! It's just shy of 2"...You would Strain your eyes looking at the Tach
