I bought one years ago and didn't like it, it was too flimsy and was missing the outer edge that wraps around the pillar facing the outside.

If you are sitting in the passenger seat it would appear to fit ok but I didn't use it because the outer edge that was not there you could see the metal between the door seal and the pillar pod so I ended up using a dual pod and mounting it directly to my factory pillar.
Lacking that outer edge made it flimsy, you could probably cut off the part from your factory pillar and glue it on but the whole point of buying this for me was as a pillar replacement which it was not.

Maybe ask for a picture from that view, who knows they may redesigned them since the time I bought mine years ago.

These are not replacement for the full pilar trim. Mine also doesn't go all the way around to the inside of the pilar like yours but fits well.

Abbey Castro.... now thats what i like, full spread read out no matter what the guage.

MetroRob... i have the 3guage pillar pod, it came with my 79' malibu, Tach, oil pressure and water temp, i dig the location for easy viewing, but it doesnt exactly fit well, it gaps the window side a tiny bit.
