A-Pillar?

Does anyone know where to get an A-Pillar with gauge pods? The only one I have seen is the carbon trix, however they $239. Not sure I want to pay that. Also, has anyone seen an A-pillar with only 1 gauge pod that is made for the RX8?

There was one on the secret Mazda project car at Sevenstock, but it must have been a one off prototype. Looks cool..

Are there any others that are custom fit to the RX8, other than the Carbontrix?

I have seen these on ebay, but they seem like the cheap way out and looks like they would not fit very well. Any of the universal pods do not have the same lines and bends as the RX8.

Thanks guys for all your help, if you hear or see any custom fit pods please let me know.

Personally I'd buy that one for $50 before I'd buy the carbon one for over $200. Now if carbontrix will make a non-carbon one at a decent price, I'm all ears.

you can buy the swivel guage pods. They are like $20-$30, and dont look that bad. Just an idea for a cheaper alternative.

Where can I buy a swivel gauge pod? Are they the brackets that are bolted onto the existing stock A-Pillar?

This one seems to be nicely priced.
