Gauge Pod - Toyota Yaris Forums

deanalois · 06-06-2010, 08:56 PM

I just purchased a 3 gauge pod for for my Yaris it came with no directions or hardware. Im not sure it will even fit or how they are even suppose to be installed here is a link to the one I purchased http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360262108973&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWAX:IT I don't know if the dash is suppose to come out % if so where. Any help on where to start with the installation and where to begin would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In advance

rivots would probably be better than screws. and that pillar is easy to remove so you can make it 'perfect'.

and you dont have to completely install it first, you can drill the holes and set it up to be installed and then paint it, and then rivot it in.

I had actually looked at that listing and the seller said that the A Pillars are the same for the LB and sedan? That just didn't sound right to me so I never pulled the trigger. I think that I am going to either build my own gauge pod A pillar or else have someone make it for me. I found this site today: http://www.customgaugepod.com/

Seems like a pretty good site.

I like individual pods better, especially on the A pillar. just my preference, though.

JumpmanYaris · 09-08-2010, 08:03 PM

from what I heard from camelll mine its almost done just need some paint

TickleTimeTim · 09-16-2010, 12:22 AM

why don't i see any pics of these pillars?

LA Yaris · 09-30-2010, 06:59 PM

Is it only the 2009 and up Sedans that have a airbag there were the pillar goes ?

Cause I would really like to add one on my car but I don't think it would work since the airbag is there.

Mine say's airbag on it. I would remove it but then I don't want to get hit in the face with it well trying to remove it. lol
