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

            i find that a-pillar gauges get in the way... it right in your line of sight... good thing and bad thing at the same time... i happen to it very annoying... but im pretty tall tho so i kinda look down on em almost maybe its not so bad for shorter people

                  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.

                    GaugePods.com is your go to place to get custom pillar pods for your G-Body, Mazda, Ford and everything in between.


                    the name of the company is Lotek inc. and they have a dual a pillar pod for the e30 m3 which should fit all e30s... very good company... the SHO people rave about them

                        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.
