Default A-Pillar gauge pods install

Just a couple of pics of my new a-pillar gauges. It was much cheaper to go this route than the Bernt dash kit and I am pretty please with the result. I also used REVO gauges which almost perfectly match the stock lighting. Anyway, take a look at the pics and see what you think.

Those new gauges look great! Is that just a universal pillar pod or dies it direct fit, I never realized that there was a pillar pod available for the beetle. I also just realized that you are from Washington. I hope you can make it to one of the PNW GTG's. Your bug is looking pretty sweet. I hope I can see it in person some day.

i was considering going that route also just not really digging how it looks like a plastic piece just tacked onto the carpeted a pillar....maybe getting another a pillar piece and putting the majority of the plastic behind the cloth and just cutting slits in for where the gauges 'bubble out'



looks good though and those gauges match up real nice
