Looking at adding gauges, but trying to decide if I should go with the short or long gauge pod. Since I have the Bose tweeter, would you get a better looking fit with the short or long pod?:help:

Full. And order it with the speaker holes there. They make both types in full.

:exactly: go with the full, much smoother and cleaner looking imo

Well I Don't Think Either One Looks Good !!

Maybe If You Can Get One That Is A Complete Replacement And Not Just A Pin On.

Double sided tape or Velcro and no pins needed.

You are absolutely right, a full replacement is the best option but full cover is the next best option.

One you glue the two togetehr you can fill the gap with special plastic adhesive and then paint the entire pillar. Look at my pictures in my garage. Looks like factory. No screws. And id doesnt look like you stuck one peice on top of the other.

It takes a little more work but looks great.

Anyone got any guidelines for removing the stock pillar? Got my 3 gauge Autometer with the speaker whole and it's going to look better than I thought.

Yep. Just grab it tight up top and pull towards the middle of the front seats direction. It's just clipped in with no fasteners to remove. The bottom will follow...:)

OK.....I tried to tug on it pretty good but I guess I need to pull a little harder.
