    Go to ebay and search under "grand prix pillar pod" filter by price - highest plus shipping. ZZP is selling them on ebay for cheaper than what they sell them for on their own website.
    About $10-$15 cheaper counting shipping.
    PLUS, some of their auctions have a "best offer" that you can place in. They want them for $59.99 plus shipping ($10). I made a best offer of $49.99 (basically free shipping) and they accepted my offer. So I actually save about $20-$25 over what they want them for on their site.
    I just got mine in the mail today (took 2 days). If any of you are thinking about getting one, get them off of ebay, hell, try lowering the price by $15 and see if they accept, I know they will for $10.

    I've heard those warp pretty bad in the heat...maybe they changed the design...good luck, hopefully yours doesn't.

    Good luck. Had mine for about 2 months painted with automotive paint and all and it didn't last. Ended up hacking and molding it into the stock pillar

    Thanks for showing me the pics, I'll reinforce mine when it goes in so hopefully it will not warp.

    Got my pillar pod installed and reinforced. Time will tell if this works or not. What I used was a mid grade expandable insulation foam on the backside. I forgot to take a picture of the back once I had it all trimed up to fit, but it's quite a bit more rugged now, so hopefully it will resist warping better:

    Get all the wires nice and tidied up.

    Cover up the gauges to keep the foam out of them.

    Fill with foam. In hindsight I should have smeared it around and smoothed it out some to keep it from being lumpy and having to trim off so much, oh well.

    After sitting overnight.

    Notice how much it expanded? It's very hard now.

    Just a heads up, the ones they sell on ebay have small blemishes/ cracks. I got mine with a crack at the bottom and two spots that were filled in.
