Has anyone installed one yet and or can tell me the steps on how to install mine

... place stupid comment about not turning gauges into projectiles due to airbags here in 3....2....1.....

The stock pillar is held in by clips, use interior panel pry tools to steadily pull away from the top down.. start with the top, wait for first pop of clip release and work your way down...

FINALLY :banana::banana: How long does it take to bring a gauge pillar pod to market






Now I can finally install my inclinometer

Just use the pods made for above radio... just so you don't get killed by flying 2 1/2" projectiles... just sayin...

i bought prosport premium evo gauges.

I think it is off color some, and i emailed them about it. We will see what they say

I also can not get it to fit correctly, i cant get it to snap into place

Well... hopefully you disabled the a pillar airbag... or your gonna get killed from your guages... just sayin, only takes one person not looking and boom, game over.

I think pillar gauges are for ricers and people who disgrace Mustangs, but for some reason those actually look pretty nice. Do you have any pics from near the headrest, I want to see how they look.

i have to go this route as i have the driver confidence package, which is the reason i cannot use the dual gauge mount....:blankface:

Looks awesome! I think you've convinced me I need this but with boost and temp gauges. Not too worried about flying gauges... since I am a man.

How is the build quality and color/texture compared to the factory pillar?

zzp pillar gauge

hi everyone,

i really didn't mean to hijack this thread, but it may have happened

anyway here it goes...

the ZZP pillar gauge mount.

as far as color....I think the color is off slightly, it has more green in it than the OEM.

as far as the texture.... it is definitely different but it is close enough(i am more concerned with the color)

as far as the fit... It is a tight fit going all up along the edge, however at the very top curvature there is a small gap that i am not concerned, but it is there.


Now the Prosport premium Evo gauges

these are cool
you have the option of 3 different colors
it has a setting to see the peak
it has a setting for the max
you can configure it to beep or not to beep
they have the digital readout plus a bar that goes up and around the gauge.

pretty easy to hook up, took a few hours.

And for the record, i could not use a center gauge pod because my car has the collision detection stuff. So if flying gauges do happen at least I am going to know why and its my own fault.
could be like dodgeball, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"

if you have any questions on my install, please feel free to ask away.opcorn:

the pillar air bag fires down, not diagonally at your face. It seems pretty extreme to say they will kill you. I'm no physicist but i just don't see the direction and size of the bag making them a hazard when it fires

I think the point is that it's better not to have a projectile in the cabin regardless of which direction it's flying.

Chrish051873, thanks for the reply and comparison pics! It's easy to show a pic of the product, but until the OEM one and the ZZP one are side-by-side, it's tough to see the difference.

yea, the side by side does show it pretty well

I even contacted ZZP, they said they were all that way.

kinda sucks, but the more i drive the car with this in i am overlooking the color(it is noticeable in the car but i dont think the normal eyes would catch it...only the investigative as such as my own lol

let me know if you want to know anything else about it, i would be happy to help when i can.
