TPLGT Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yes. Almost as bad as 'Brembo' brake covers. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORULZleggy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I do not think you would be a ricer if you got some prosport gauges in your cubby up top. You could do oil pressure, and something else. You just have to make it look clean and not have some crazy purple gauges and light going off in your car. I think our car's are classy looking so I would do like HID's, tint, nice wheels. and cubby gauges, and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Gauges for show is totally ricerzz.

Leke Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Well, it could give you some visual reference of about when your battery is going to die. It may start the first time, like you implied, but what about the next time? I know this is all hypothetical or whatever, but knowing you have a weak battery would certainly be beneficial if you're going on a road trip or leaving the car for a little while. I think it's one of those things that you would wish you had if ever you're stranded with a dead battery. I couldn't justify having any other gauge, and I certainly wouldn't want it mounted on my A-pillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't justify having any other gauge, and I certainly wouldn't want it mounted on my A-pillar. I would also like to state that I would never have gauges on the A-Pillar as well with a 2.5i. And if I had a LGT i would get the performance Gauge pack from Subaru or make one like it in the same location. Goes without saying that I would love to have boost gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Forget the gauges, work on cool LED accent lighting for the front of your car that's all the rage now. Give it the Audi look. It's so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Tank Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I just got an A pillar gauge pod for my GT and my friends are calling it rice. The truth is though, that other's opinions don't matter. It's your car and your hobby. The modifications that I make to my car are just for me and not for anyone else. I try to maintain a solid show to go ratio, but I don't care what the haterz say. I love my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 You have friends making fun of your infamous-tuned stage 2 GT? What do they drive? Vettes and GT-Rs, or other such automotive masterpieces? fast cars can add things like a-pillar gauge pods, like your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettes and GT-Rs, or other such automotive masterpieces? fast cars can add things like a-pillar gauge pods, like your car. My friend Matt's comment was really not malicious. He sid that my car was too "classy" to have a pillar pod and that I should have put my gauges in the cubby. He actually drives an Integra, although it's not riced out. My roommate drives a Volvo S60 and he said that the pillar took away my sleeper status and that he'd only ever seen them on older Evos and Hondas.

Gire Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Now that you mention it, sleeper status and classy is absolutely right. An a-pillar pod is a little Mitsu Eclipse / SRT-4, but a single gauge isn't that bad. 3 a-pillar gauges is too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05lgt5spd Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think you should mount them on the OUTSIDE of your pillar so other people can see your voltage. When I decided to go with a cubby mount, it was because our interiors are so clean, I felt that the a pillar would look too tacky. But everyone has their opinions. I feel a pillar setups are more for other people to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
