Set me back a whopping $17.25 that included a new apillar fro $10, and old womans skirt for .25 at the salvation army, and the pod, which was for a civic. I already had the fiberglass, body filler, and spray adhesive laying around, it took me forever though

And yea I have no airbag their , and

yea I drilled through the a-pillar underneith but theres na fabric under there now anyways

The guage and the vent was one complete unit - so you could have put it anywhere - side vent or any one of the center three.

I kept it in the center - gives the passenger some entertainment!

Install was pretty simple and clean - just had to crawl under the dash to route the tubing and wiring - maybe half hour tops. You do have to pull the knee bolster off the driver side to make it easier.

ORIGINAL: a list11

im feeling that one!!! was it simple mods to make it fit?!?! or did u have to tear up sum stuff!? nice job either way!
It wasn't too bad really. I just trimmed the back of it by about 2 inches, and the right side (assuming you are looking head on), then just sanded it to smooth it out. Its held on by double sided tape. I'm pretty happy with it. My buddy in Florida has a passat with this pod, which made me decide this was the one i wanted. I spoke to NewSouth before I bought it, and they said it was simple to do, so I did it.
