It says only for RHD cars but wouldnt it work for LHD?

you'd probably have to modify them to work. I started making a fiberglass one that looks kinda like those but I figured I'd rather make a complete shroud with 4 gauge spots. I just need to find some time to get finish it up.

What about the 3 gagues that come along on the side of the car behind 1 another, thats molded in ? or is it still too new for that to be out right now

This??? If so you shouldnt because theres a airbag there.

The pillar only pops out a few inches when the airbag deploys. It comes out the side. I don't think you'd have an issue

I do like the center steering column and the JDM but the JDM Are freakin expensive. i could get 2 Defi gauges for that.

from pictures I've seen, it looks like the airbag comes out of the headliner either from or up to the top of the A-pillar, though i don't know exactly how an a-pillar pod would affect the deployment of the air bag, only time will tell i guess.

good luck finding a company that will produce them.... We tried every company known to man to get some pillar gauge pods for my gmc truck but because it had the option for side airbags it was to much of a liability.

It's early people... wait until a proper gauge mounting solution is released. At this point, it's either custom, or gauge pod cups drilled into your steering column or dash.

My prediction (lol)... the "best" pod that's actually manufactured properly and fits well will have two gauges mounted on the right and left of the gauge cluster, two gauges mounted above the cluster hood cowl, or a combination of one or all (up to 4 gauges).

The gauges are already out... those don't change. It's the mounting options that haven't been taken care of yet.
