I'm twice an a-hole, I guess... 3-gauge pillar pod and one enviro-sticker.

But who cares what the uninitiated think about your car, they think "stock" is the only way a car can run anyway. Anybody who builds will understand that a pod means your dash is still intact.

And the sticker is an encouragement, like a rallying cry (LOL), Top line is big letters and bold, letters under are much smaller...

I had to fix the HID bulbs in a stock, non HID housing on the Forester. The douche nozzle owner prior to me did that garbage. I did, however, put an A pillar gauge pod in the SVT when the Powerworks went in. I didn't want to hack up the dash. So I will take the abuse for that. The pod was $free.99 so why not. My brother owns the car now so he can say his sister did it. :lol:

So I'm safe with a wideband, a boost gauge and a water temp for the heat exchanger? :lol:

Pillar pods suck because they put each gauge at a different focal distance reducing their utility.

I was still making payments on my ZX3 when I drilled into the dash. Of course, I'd already cut a hole in the floor to get to the fuel pump.

Sweet I missed all of them. Including the stanced on. Camber, yes, crazy camber, no. Lifted? yes, but 1.5" and I use it besides at the mall.
