Some Mod Pics on My SS

Hey guy's! Thought I would share some pics of my SS I took today.

The mods I have done to date include the Trifecta tune, Thule roof rack with load stops, stubby antenna, Aeroforce gauge mounted in the A-pillar, and the factory boost gauge mounted on the steering column. I also have a iPod home dock with remote mounted in the accessory glove box with the wires hidden to the stereo and remote power supply. I will try to post a pic of this next week. This is great for my iPhone to charge and to see who is calling etc.

I love the factory boost gauge on the steering column. It looks killer at night with the accompanying cluster lights. It was easy to move there as the factory wire is just long enough.

Just pop off the rocker panel cover, hood latch cover, the cover on the side of the dash, A-pillar cover, and the cover with the egg crate thing under the column. Remove the clip between the twitter and gauge and fish the wire down to around where the OBD2 port is. Un-tape the wires as you can to remove the clips that hold it to the body. I taped my wires back up separately (twitter and boost gauge) and fished them back to there spots.

Anyway, hope you like.

Looks good. Is that a Cobalt steering column gauge pod?

Thanks! I think so. I got it off of eBay. Real pricey but I am sure it cost somebody some R&D money. It is a great fit and I held it down with a little double sided tape.

Was there a brand or part number on the housing. It looks like one from Autometer for a VW or the like.

If I had a brand or number I might be able to figure out who's it is.

Here is the link for it on eBay

There was no part number on the item or any of the packaging.
