doesnt retro-spec make one?

personally i'm not a fan of pillar gauges, slightly awkward to look at (esp. a 3-gauge) and they tend to be cop magnets.
What happened to retro-spec? They were on this site a few months ago, but have since disappeared.

For what's worth, mine doesn't fit that well. It functions, but it doesn't look good... My build thread, page 2-4 or something has a pic. :(
Same here, fitment required a lot of work. I bought mine of HPF if you can't find them elsewhere Albert.

Not to mention taking a left turn, it obstructs your vision sometimes, it's like having an A-pillar out of a Chevy pickup... I'll be re-doing my cluster at some point.

I've got a retrospec triple pod and passenger side in CF, they fit like stock, absolutely perfect.

too bad they suck as a vendor. I had to pester them for over a month to get my parts out, then they shipped the wrong armrest cover. lots of drama, but the parts are good quality.

here is my retrospec pod. It's designed for 52mm gauges, so I had to use a Dremel to bored them out for my 60mm Blitz gauges. (ignore anything burgandy interior related, it's all getting tossed out)

Do you have a pic showing the a pillar with the door open. (from the outside)

That's what really gets me about my lotek. The poor fitment stares me in the face Everytime I get in the car. :(
