Gauge pod help please

[Five4Rider]

Well, I've tried searching, but haven't really found the exact answer I need. I'm wanting to purchase a 3 pod pillar, and need to know which ones actually replace the stock pillar instead of going over it. I like the Lotek brand on http://www.gaugepods.com/ford_t.html because you can get them painted to match our interior....BUT, their 3 pod version only goes up to 2002 model year. I will consider other brands also, so ANY pics welcome please. Thanks alot guys!! :beer:

Take this one of gauge pods.

It´s really easy to make it fit our 03/04 Lightnings.
You just have to place it inside without mounting and paint a line.
On the line you have to do a small cut off. Works very well with a small iron-saw. (just on the upside)
I´ve done this myself and it looks like stock.

Get it.

Looks good Andre!! You ordered it with the option of already being painted gray, right? Anybody else wanna speak up with thier brand of pods too?? Thanks

I just heated up the top of the pod, carefully, with a heat gun and molded it to the headliner. It does look different from the other side; however, I did not want to get involved with cutting, sanding, and possibly re-painting a finished product. My pod is from Lo-Tek.

I hope that I didn't get the black one, it will look gay with gray all around it.

 

[ChuteboxeL03]

Autometer as well

[Lord Tauk]

I've had people ask me that too.

Sweet!! I was kinda leaning towards Autometer for the pod anyhow. AND you can get the autometer color matched?!?! I've seen them on summit, please tell me where you guys got yours.

 

[ChuteboxeL03]

i got mine through lordco here in Canada, they come in black, but if you give a paint shop your VIN number they should be able to match the interior color, i left mine black looks better IMO, iam thinking of painting the other one black to match it.

Autometer here, fits like a glove, painted both black, everyone, including most L owners think the pillars came black stock. It also takes away the glare of the light gay, er I mean gray.......

But that is the beauty of ownership..... do it your way and be happy, follow all the others is just bending to peer pressure.

 

[Five4Rider]

follow all the others is just bending to peer pressure.

Not sure if that was directed at me or not, but just so you know, I'm not wanting gray because "everybody" has it. I just prefer for my interior to match. Kinda like why you painted your stock passenger pillar black.....to match the black aftermarket one. :thumbsup:
