i'm debating if i should get the a-pillar or the clock cluster thing for the gauges... which is better?

 

go for the clock

 

clock=clean

 

^^^ I agree with Mark on that one.. Center Pod that replaces the Clock is a much cleaner setup and plus it hides the Wires very nicely as compared to the A-Piller pods IMO. Or your could get the Zerosport Center Pod which allows you to keep your Clock in tact.

 

Pillars look 2 fast 2 ***gotty to me lol

 

WTF? I didn't know the f word for gay was a curse, but you get the point right lol

 

word, i vote for the clock pod... now if i could only afford a decent setup.

 

plus just imagine how hazardous the A pillar could be.

 

idk, i kinda like the a-pillar look, wouldn''t it be easier to glance up at the a-pillar rather than over by the clock, i know its not much of a difference but it seems that it is just closer to glance up rater than over

 

i have three gauges in mounting cups on top of my clock, so i retained it. I'm like an old man with my clock and my arm rest extension.

 

depending on what you need...
i personally am not a big fan of gauges. i dont have to constantly see that my battery is 11.9-12.9 V. if you want something really simple, IMHO, just have what is important to you visible at a glance (boost (*mainly), egt, temp). otherwise, keep your eye on the road and not on the pretty colorful gauges (no punt intended).

for my other readings, i have a informeter set up by my fuses for all the OTHER important gauges.

then again, UP TO YOU> =D hope that helps

 

I agree with everyone else...
Clocks are cleaner. Gauges are more showy.
Just depends what you want your car to feel like.

 

where could i pick up or order the center gauge pods?

 

Additional to the clean look the clock gauges provide, you will also replace the clock which is a very good thing considering that Impreza clocks break down within 5-6 years.

When mine stopped working after 5 years, I did a search around and found it was a very common problem with Imprezas.

The clock started acting weird flickering on and off and sometimes doesn't work. After a year of that happening, it completely broke.

 

I recently had my Defi Center Guage Pod Installed with some Saga 60mm guages. (I originaly had white guages before, but I recently had them switched to red instead to match the STi cluster) Looks very clean and OEM'ish. I also have the A-Pillar guage pod (It's sitting at home, collecting dust) I tryed it out for afew days, but a honda drove by with the same "fast and the furious" setup as me, so I removed it as soon as I got home that day. Plus with 60mm guages, having them on the a-Pillar theres a contant "glow" on the left side of your field of view. It gets annoying.....
