A pillar ricey or not??? i want but dont want to rice out
always been a fan of A-pillars but not sure on this car i have no carbon fiber so i wouid end up painting it stock pillar color but not sure if i want them though i have not seen one thread or anyone have these at all only the ones that go on the ash tray from rb would you get it or not and i would put blacked out gauges so they match the stock tach as much as possible but like i said no one has it too ricey......??? opinions

Thanks. I have a cup there now, but not nearly as clean. Unfortunately, removing the cup leaves a scar. Maybe this would hide the hole somewhat??
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Whatever that was. Oh, yeah...Ricey pillars.

The only time I would find that kind of stuff ricer like is when they are populated with the following gauges....
1. A volt gauge
2. A wide band O2 gauge that is either not hooked up or hooked up to a narrow band o2 sensor.
3. A boost gauge when you're car isn't boosted
4. Any other combination of gauges that are only for show and don't actually DO anything.
If you try to make your own apillar gauge pod and it looks like ***...that's rice. If the installation is poorly done, it's rice.
Otherwise, a nice clean install with functional gauges that provide you with useful information is just fine IMO.
