Looks to me like the pillar is still completely intact, meaning a gauge pod mounted there would have been just fine with respect to the airbag...

Airbag picture

 

Are the considered a "front" airbag? Because it looks like the front airbags are not deployed.

 

the side airbag seems little small... will it actually be useful if it does ever deploy?

 

they aren't inflated

 

that pic looks like what a really really large woman's brazziere would look like

 

Thank you - I've had a hard time explaining this in the various A-Pillar gauge pod threads...

 

so who is ordering that gauge Pod this weekend now :D :D :D :D

 

the question is does that guage pod change colors at night like stock? I think I'd pay about $500 for these...I like them better then the mazdaspeed setup that locates on the center of the dash and those are over $1200 anyway, oh and they don't fit anyway since there is a display that pops up (I forgot this crucial element :p
