Dear Tom Steele,

That looks awesome. What did you use to make that plate? Also, it looks like it was meant to be in there. More details on your materials and how you did it?

i just figured he removed the one from the armrest area and mounted it in there also. the top one sits a little high though

it does look great tom, matches wood REALLY well. what is it cause when i drilled into my wood, u can hear it cracking...might be able to use this is a replacement if it does crack

Is there a specific pillar pod for the GS? I really hate those universal ones which is why I'm looking for other options.

There is an airbag on our pillars.

I have the Zeitronix unit, it is mounted right behind the steering wheel. I'll snap a quick pic if I can anytime soon.

Quest Power makes these, I've always liked this one. I'll do it if I choose to do gauges, chances are I won't though.




Anyway, here are some other choices-

You will lose your ac vents. But there is another one that has a little slit at the bottom for ac flow. Can't remember off the top of my head who makes it though.
