        A-pod would be the best spot that would not compromise visibility, nor make you take your eyes completely off the road.

                  ya especially on windy roads. where i live there are alot of roads without a center divider in the road and there are a few turns that are scary because you cant see if a car is coming.......and i had no idea lowen sucked that bad, ive never ordered from them but it looked like they had cool stuff. sorry.

                        I was going to put one in my car a few years back, I think that most Honda Civic ones fit perfectly. The one I tried did.

                          Whatever you do, dont put them in the ashtray, beleive me, i have 3 on my dash and 2 on the A pillar and i have trouble keeping up with them hehe

                          I think Acura pods fits with little or no modifications.

                            im not sure...id LIKE to have the A-pillars, but im afraid, as some of youve said, that it will cut off visibility.

                              They do. I've driven cars that have them, they are a pain in the ass. They're in just that right spot.
