Auto Meter triple Pillar
Just to let everyone know. Auto Meter makes a complete cover for the MP5 A-pillar. This comes in either a 2 or 3 gauge set up. Mine is the triple and i mounted both my air gauges (for my suspension) and a volt gauge. It comes black so i had to make it match the rest of the interior. Here is a couple pics of how it looks in a MP5.
nice!

As for the price on them...i will know in the next day or so and will post it. I went to an automotive paint store and bought a can of S.E.M. COLOR COAT which is a vinyl paint. The color i used was LIGHT TITANIUM. That matched the factory color for my MP5 so i only had to paint the one peice. The piece goes on top of the factory pillar and uses 4 little push tabs (one in each corner) to hold it on. Pretty easy!! I just had to do some extra mods to the factory pillar to make room for my air lines to the air gauges i put in it.
it was easy to install.

I just got the deal on these pods. They will fit a 00-03 Protege (all models) The dual gauge pillar has a retail price of $74.29 and the triple pillar retails for $77.41. You can buy them any where you get Auto Meter parts (Jegs, Summit, etc and some part stores) As for what gauges they carry, check out theAuto Meter web site.
