    If you have a screwdriver, I see no reason why you couldn't do that.

    maybe the pre-formed pillar guage pods for another application would look OK? Too bad Im not at the shop, I have a 3 gauge pillar pod for 88-98 Chevy/GMC truck. I could see if it sorta fits my A-pillar and let you know.

    I have considered it. I drove a GNX that had those and it was very cool.

    the pillars on our cars are very narrow. modern cars have pillars about 3 times as thick so they have suface area and usually have a plastic cover that can be replaced by a pod or a pod can be put over. our pillar is just bare metal with windshield gasket on oneside and the door seal on the other. you could screw into it but i doubt you can achive the molded in stock look that most pods try to achive.

    I recently saw a video of a Mav from Brazil with them. I'm trying to find it but that video was just out of the blue and they probably made it so that it had some weird tags on it so fidning the viedo is hard.

    If I find it I'll post it up for you.
