    whats up so i just bought an 05 gtp am looking to do some upgrades. I want to know what my boost is at im curious to all of you with my body style where are you mounting your gauges? I really dont like the pillar pods as i feel ricers put there gauges there. Are there any other single pods or double pods where i can mount this gauge in my grand prix ive seen in the ac vent which is pretty cool i was thinking maybe in the dash and or in the cd holder by the stereo if you guys have post pics and or where i can buy a pod like this

    if you have a hud, heads up display, there are pod dash mounts that fit and almost look stock. the blend into the hud trim.

    i know ive seen them on 97-03 cars, not 100% sure on the 04 up's. google would help with pics.

    Wait do you have a Grand Prix or a Grand AM? If its a 04+ Grand Prix sadly we don't have a HUD pod option unless you go custom. What makes a pillar pod ricey is when you have gauges that aren't functional for that car or cheap ones (sunpros for example). Get some quality gauges and gauges that you can actually use and your good.

    Could always mount it in one of the ball vents if you're only doing one gauge.
    Theres a write up and how to you can search for that works for 04+ cars.

    Could always just throw the gauge in the driver side AC vent if you plan on running 2 or less.

    Fab something that goes in the corner of the cluster by the temp. 2" pvc fiberglass and resin. Spray texture or wrapped in textured vinyl if you want a factory look.
