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!

 

cost?

 

Nice man... I'd be inclined to just grab some dark grey paint and do both pilars the same color to match. How does it install? (Tape, clips, etc)

I WANT!

 

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.

 

looking good Brandon, once again.

 

I wonder how closely this would fit on a second gen? Will someone try it Please?

 

where did you order it from? I would like one of those for my P5. Does it house 2" gauges?? Thanks, looks good.

 

i have a dual pod on my 99, its not color matched, but i like it. it was easy to install.

 

jsut wondering, like i want an oil pressure gauge and a volt gauge.
how would i hook those two up. or could i get someone to do it.
also how much would the gauges cost. lemme know. cuz i am guessign that the MP5 one will work in all 3rd gens.
arul

 

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.

 

yeah i played like 30 bucks for mine. and the guages, my oil gauge was like 45 bucks, volt meter will prolly be around the same. so yeah 74 dollars you outa your mind.

 

That was the prices quoted to me straigt from Auto Meter....which is one of my sponsors!!!! I didnt make it up. Auto Meter does NOT sale out right......they have dealers and those prices are the "suggested retail"!!

 

hey man im not calling you a lier, just saying i wouldnt pay 74 bucks for a piece of plastic.
