      I made this one (the console boost gauge has been moved, and sorry for the blur):



      Here's the only one I have of my a-pillar pod, and it may well be the same one you have... fit is kinda shoddy, but I filled the gaps with weather stripping and so far not a single person has noticed until I pointed it out. Pardon the dirty as hell interior.

        I like the vent setup, I'd want mine on the other wise of the center vent though.

          this guy is selling these on E30tech.

          They look nice enough, but I'd find a better way to secure them- he says they are OK with a "press fit" into the opening, which I'm sure is fine for a garage queen, but NOT a DD or track car.

            ^^ gee whiz, a guy could go crazy with all those gauges. my e30 doubles as a lunar lander. That being said, I think I want an oil pressure gauge.

              what about this solution?



              I know chu has been working on it for a bit now, looks good to me.





              I believe these are pre-production versions and will look cleaner in the end but to me these fit what I'm looking for.

                Ordered one to replace my cd player panel; still waiting for it to be shipped though.
