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.
