Steering column gauge pod

I just got one of these off ebay. A little pricey but now I can use both my aeroforce and factory gauges.

nice! let us know how it works once you have it installed. I have been considering one of these but was unsure of it's placement. I will be interested to see pics when you are done.

I have seen these at work but I never tired to fit one. Most of these are for Ford cars and trucks so it may or may not fit even with mods.

Post photos as I would like to see how it comes out.

I just installed my guage pod today. I like it but here is the thing. It sits on top of your factory column piece. I used two sided tape to hold it in place.They supply some plastic tabs you can put in but you have to drill holes in the factory column piece. Fits very well, just not sure if it is worth $50.

I think it looks good. It is kind of hard to see in small picture.

I would like to try this. Did you have to cut or change anything?

dotheblue, I have been looking at these so I can add the areoforce gage. I think it looks good and solves the problem of no multi gage pods for the a pillar.
Just curious if it is hard to read the DIC with it mounted?
If you get a chance could you take a larger photo from drivers seat eye level....

Thanks in advance,

Somehow I missed this when you first posted, just ordered an HHR version to mount my original boost guage (with the aeroforce on the pillar).

I like it. I do have to lean to one side to see if the driving light indicator light is on. Other than that it doesn't block my view of any other gauges.

I have the same gauge pod. Yes, the DIC is a bit harder to read, but you move your head a bit left or right, and you can see what's displayed by the DIC. No big deal to me.

Does anyone know which pod this is? I searched for one specific to the HHR to no avail....help?

**ok so after some research it appears this was from Cobalt Addiction which is no longer around. Does anyone else make one of these for our cars?
