Yes. That's why a lot of us would like to get a 2-3 gauge A-pillar for the HHR SS.

Whats the response time like on the Aeroforce? Ive found that a scangauge plugged into the obd2 port is a bit laggy.

Yep - looking to fabricate my own. Might be a little ambitious but construction commences tomorrow, if successful I'll post up pictures. If it flops (most likely) this'll be the last you hear from me as I drive around, embarrassingly with just the one, remaining A-pillar.

Not a fan of the 3 gauge pillar, think they're a little over the top (not to mention twice as much work ) so hoping to be able to replace the boast gauge and accommodate two Aeroforce gauges. But as a demonstration of my confidence, I'm not ordering the gauges till the work is completed and I'm sure I have presentable housing for them.

After struggling with finding a decent looking location for another couple of gauges, I have reluctantly concluded that the top glove box is probably best. No offense to those who prefer the pillar, but I think the two or three guage setups generally look really bad there.

I totally agree with you (i.e. not a big fan of pillar gauges). I was considering installing two in the glove box, sinking them in slightly into the lid and keeping the glove box functional. However I am also looking into installing rear view cameras and my plan is to mount the monitor (size of a GPS unit) in that location. It and a couple of gauges would be too busy so the gauges (for mine) have to go into the pillar. But I still think a couple of gauges, slightly lowered into the lid would be a great look.

I find it to be very responsive. There is a data scan setting that you can move to the highest value (not sure why anybody woudln't)

I use the throttle % as a check and it's pretty quick.
