    You'll have to find a dash pod that will work or make one work.

    Something like this:

        They pop-up once in a while.
        You may have better luck ordering from an Autometer dealer or finding some random parts store through google.

          That looks nice how they look factory. Was it hard to get the guages that far in?... did you have to take the dash out to take the origianl ones out? Thats always something i havent wanted to do. But i love the updated look of guages that arent from the 80s

            All you have to do is drop the AC control unit, and then drop the gage pod down and out. Should only take a few minutes.

              ok well im no longer against the pillar gauge mounts, so where do i buy a dual gauge pod?
              gaugepods.com only has a 3 pod available.
              got a wideband and EGT on the way.

                  What about getting the under dash gauge pod and flipping it upside down? like this.

                          Buy one more gauge and then get the WRX center pod:

Didn't scratch the car or anything, just a boom and it was gone. I sure as hell didn't stop to see where it went. I didn't see any stories on the news... so that's a plus.
