They are a legit brand. I ordered a universal triple gauge pod and a boost, water temp, and oil pressure gauge from them and they worked a LOT better than stock with my '89 LeBaron. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. The only problem is I can't use the A piller pod due to the fact I have the side curtain airbags.

Looks nice. If I didn't have the side curtain airbags, I'd get these.

i didnt even realize i didnt have side curtain airbags till i popped it out to paint it, too bad for safety lol but i will get this within the next little while off ebay...any suggestions on the top 3 gauges to get?

I'm getting voltmeter, water temp and tach for my Yaris.

Oil pressure replaces voltmeter on my Scion tC.

I dont know about the Canadian or the UK ones but the US Yarii have gray pillars, so the black wouldn't really match. But I guess you can always paint it. But has anyone found a tach that small to put in that size pillar? Because then I would totally get that.

should say on their site what it fits. The one I saw was for the liftback/3-door

I'll have some pics to show in a week with my install of three gauges.

here are my custom a-pillars that i retrofitted from the ebay listing above. The pillar they sent didnt fit AT ALL. so i just chopped it down to use the pods, and then got them covered in suede. looks really good, but don't expect it to fit right over the stock pillar, and also, they look really cheap.
fresh out of the box.

what u mean it didnt fit?...like the whole pod was too long?...
ism3t
06-16-2007, 08:27 PM
it is too short on 3 of the 4 corners, and it doesnt come down deep enough on the 4th. sorry i didnt take pics of it before the mods, but trust me when i say getting it is just the first step in a very long lame modding process. also check your gauges, my tach had the button to change the colors messed up so i have to contact them for a new one.

This was an eBay pod, not the Glowshift one, right?

Ended up very nice, the suede helps with all cosmetic challenges :wink:

Ok, so.... I'm sorry but the website only says for Yaris... doesn't mention hatch or sedan... or did I miss that little fine print somewhere. Is the A Pillar different in each car or are they the same (so it shouldn't matter what car it's for)?

Usaully when they list something for a Yaris it is for the Hatch, unless it sepecificly says it is for the Sedan
