Any interest in a-pillar gauge pod's, 88-93 GP coupes?

[slick]

http://www.gaugepods.com/custom.html

Just tossing the idea out there. Pretty inexpensive. Minimum order is 20.

If the a-pillar's fit cutlass's, regals, monte carlos, etc... coupes, then you can get in on it also, or suggest a GB. But remember, min order of 20.

I'm going to let this run til about Dec. 15. If not enough by then, then we will have to stick to making our own.

Here is the list of for sure members.

1: slick
2: Rdrckt_92
3. got2bgm
4. psychomatt
5. bigalwalker
6. shifter23
7. meltboy1

I will update as more are added.

[Rdrckt_92]

I've been tossin the idea around for awhile now. I'd be down

[GOT2B GM]

double? triple? full pillar? or just a slip on pod?

[slick]

Site says full length pillars. Not sure if they are slip-on's or total replacement. Looks like once they make the mold, they sell them in different styles (triple, double).

2: Rdrckt_92

[Dark Ride]

I'd be interested if its a total replacement

[carkhz316]

If the fit 90-94 lumi coupes, I'd definitely get one.

they don't

[Biohazed]

if they fit a 95 GP i'll get a 3 pod full pillar

[gpchris]

double

[slick]

Everyone, add yourself to the list.

Can anyone verify if the 94-96 A-pillar trims are the same, or different, from a 88-93? I think they are, which would probably rule out the 94-96 crowd, unless there are enough people interested to do those as well.

[slick]

And, I sent them an email asking if it is a replacement or slip-on, and if they are mixed and match, or one size.

[dirt_igirt]

how mutch would they be R they 2 or 3 pod

[slick]

Click the link.

[Biohazed]

soon as we get a definatly of a fit for the 95 i'll add my name

[oldscsc]

Hmm...I have been needing a rather large boost gauge...

[Psych0matt]

triple

[dohc v6]

Ill take one, but its gotta fit the lumina.

[19Cutlass94]

if it fits a cutlass, im in for a triple

[slick]

Here's the email I sent:

A few questions: 1). Are these slip on, or full replacement a-pillar trim panels?2). Do we choose if we want single, double, triple, or once the mold ismade, you can make whatever is ordered (because our's list of people is amix and match of single's, double's, and triples, combining all would putus over the required amount)?


Email I got back:

Chris: Please read our project information page at www.gaugepods.com (http://www.gaugepods.com) for generalinformation about doing a new project. Before we can determine the exact makeup of the gauge holder we need you tosend in the trim piece for evaluation. But most applications are made toreplace the existing a-pillar trim piece. (the part from the roof to thedash) Each application requires a seperate mold to be developed. So, if you wanta double and triple, each would require a new mold and quantity. It wouldbasically be two sererate projects. We do not make single full pillars butwould make a single add-on. Once we get the trim piece we will evaluate and determine pricing andminimum order quantity. We look forward to working with you. Regards,Lo-Tek, Inc.

[GOT2B GM]

so lets do a triple pod. Boost, AF Ratio and volts

[slick]

Yeah, I already had Boost and Volt's in my head, was rolling around the idea of AF.

Seems triple is what is most prefered. I will probably send in my own pillar for this, but I will need color samples from any other color interior's (unless you don't mind paint to match).

[CSI_MuNkY]

If there is enough people on board for the 94-96 GP ones I will do it.

But I want a triple (volts, oil pressure or A/F, and eventually one day, boost :evil:)

OEM part from project leader. This will be used for fabricating the mold and is non-returnable.

I should hope the person that offers their up gets a discount then!

But I really would like a 2 pod :cry: maybe depending on price :confused:

[RedGTP]

cutlass vert it's not the same a-pillar ... humm :(

[dirt_igirt]

so it is 39 bucks a for a 3 gauge pillar correct

[Biohazed]

have we ever figured out if the 95 a pillar and the earlier a-pillar is the same?

[slick]

Most likely different.

If your interested, make a 94-96 GP group buy list.

[BXX]

Yes, the 94-96 is completely different

[Shifter23]

Throw me down for one!!!! Three guage!!!!!

[blackbombshell95]

I'd join just to get a product made for our car.

me. 94to96 style.

Definately down for a tripple tan for the TGP!

[AL]

So curiousity... What gauges will you put on the pillar?

[gpchris]

So curiousity... What gauges will you put on the pillar?


For me I need several extra guages.. Theres just no room.. I need Oil pressure, fuel pressure, tranny temp, vacuum/boost etc..

[dirt_igirt]

im using boost air/fuel and trans temp
all autometer carbon fiber series

[Shifter23]

Boost, Volts, A/F

[slick]

Please be sure you are putting your name on the list, 88-93 guys.

Also, you need to make sure that if your are ordering for a 4 door, that the 2 doors and 4 doors interchange. Otherwise, your SOL.

[alphagtp]

sorry, I got kinda exited at first that I didnt even noticed the 88-93 thing, I'm only IN IF we get to make some 94-96 as well :confused: I guess so far I'm out

[RareGMFan]

Slick, you may just want to do the list in the OP, and edit as people say they're in. I'd be interested in a triple pod myself (yes....even though I'm getting rid of the cars). Lotek is the same brand that makes the full replacement a-pillar pods for the Gen II w-bodies. They come with caps to cover the mounting screw holes.

[webxfx]

are the sedans different?

[AL]

yes, they are shorter at the top

[slick]

Ok, this is the list I have so far, of 88-93 GP 2 door guys that are interested. For you 94-96 guys, make up a list as well.

1: slick
2: Rdrckt_92
3. got2bgm
4. mitch r
5. psychomatt
6. bigalwalker
7. shifter23
8. meltboy1

So far, we are definately short of 20, and 3 weeks away on the deadline in the original post.

[AL]

slick, if its cheaper to have 2 shipped to you then I will do it and pick it up around new years (if there done). I didnt see a final price, are they $40?

[slick]

Yeah, they will be $40 + shipping.

If we don't get enough for sure members (minimum is 20) within 3 weeks, then I'm just going to make my own, and pop out another for anyone who would want it.

Bigal, I can just wait til your around this area for Christmas to get the one off of you that you got for me.

I'm probably not going to do this, I have mine half done already and its just a dual gauge pod, I don't like the way triples look, too much stuff going on.

[slick]

Ok, I will remove you from the list.

[slick]

I have added the list to the 1st page. If I have missed you, or you want in, let me know by Dec. 15.

[RareGMFan]

You didn't post this on the TGP forums??? Maybe try the '88 - '96 section of ClubGP, too? BTW, put me down on the list.

[slick]

I'm not a member on the TGP forums yet, so if someone will post it along over there, that would be great. Same with ClubL67.

[RareGMFan]

Done aaaaand done!

Considering it fits the olds. which I think it does correct>?

[slick]

Might, not sure. Any GP owners local to you? I don't know of any 1st interior cutlass's near me.

[Shifter23]

I'll see if i can get Ntrcool in on it. We just picked up another black 90 TGP not sure what he wants to do if he gets some change im sure he would be in.

[slick]

Now that I think about it, I do know of a Cutlass. However, I am not sure when I can get over to look at it.

[dohc v6]

Any word on if these will fit the lumina's?

[slick]

No clue, I don't have a 1st gen Lumina at my use.

[dohc v6]

Can you ask if they will make one for me?

[slick]

According to their site and the email's, they only make them if there are 20 confirmed yes's for a particular piece, which probably means money has to be put up at front.

[dohc v6]

I need one of these for my lumina, I am so down.

[slick]

It's well past the date that I had originally set, and we didn't meet the minimum required amount.

I'm just going to do my own. If someone else wants to take this over and make more time out of it, you are more than welcome to.

Or Mark, maybe something else you can sell from your website, if you have someone local that can pop them out for you.

[dohc v6]

Humm, I will have to look into this.

[mra32]

I found this site has universal ones for pretty cheap.

do you guys HAVE to have the a-pillar gauges? If not, there are a butt-ton of options on that page
