Side pillar gauge pod
Does anyone know where I can find a 2 guage pod pillar? For the side windshield part you know what I mean? I can;t find one anywhere.....is there something that will fit there thats not specifically made for the rx8? I have the dash pod from gaugepods.com but they don't make one for the side pillar....
Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but I think from photos I've seen, the airbag is a curtain type located along the headliner above the door, not behind the plastic cover of the A-pillar. This would make sense as any airbag in the actual pillar that would go off from a front three-quarter hit would be hidden behind the steering wheel airbag I should think.

Or I should say it has to be in the A-pillar from looking at it, it couldn't be in the headliner do to location of other stuff.

Well...it couldn't be in the headliner because of the position of my head. I would no longer have to worry about a head injury from the crash, the airbag would have taken care of it. Also, there is an airbag in the rear pillar as well so they must have come up with something for it. But when you take yours off and it goes off by accident, let us know how it works. :P
Not that I would use it...but it would be nice if someone developed a carbon fiber insert for the ash tray hole for two or three gauges. Just so it is made easier on everyone that wants gauges.

AFAK, there are no airbags on the A pillar... I know it that has the airbag symbol/logo on it but it's actually located at the roof lining by the a pillar, not behind the a pillar interior piece.

Scroll down a bit as the photos don't link to anything...

It just doesn't seem right (from looking at the headliner) that it should come from there. I'm not arguing, I agree, it just doesn't look right to me.

The reason the SRS logo is on the a-pillar is simple...it's within eyesight to let you know there is SRS equiptment in that general location. As far an a-pillar gauge pod...I've only seen a couple custom jobs. The RB ashtray pod is probably the best, for the price anyways.

A-Pillar does not have an airbag in it.
