    Anyone know a company that makes or is willing to make an a-pillar gauge pod for a 2012?

    I have checked out that site but it says 05-09. I contacted the company and they said it won't fit a 2012.

    The gauge pod on the pillar is from Lotek. It required a little tweaking to fit correctly.

    The pod over the steering wheel is from Cravenspeed and fits very well.

    The pod at the radio, I made from a single din radio mount.

    The gauges in this picture were from Autometer and were called Nexus. The Nexus gauges were problematic and have been discontinued. I had issues with the gauges over time. I later replaced them with AEM. One gauge in the pillar mount was a intercooler gauge. This measure the differential temperature of the intercooler for my s/c. This gauge was from Spa. The other gauge in the pillar mount is A/F wideband.

    Gauges over the steering wheel were oil pressure & boost/vacuum.

    Gauges in the radio pod were oil temp, water temp & volts.

    The Nexus gauges had a nice feature of being able to flash a red light if you exceeded a preset temperature or pressure. They would also save a high temperature or pressure reading. Too bad they failed on a regular basis.
