Which gauge pod to get?
Please help me decide which gauge pod to get. I have a '03 WRX. I'm trying to decide between an AutoMeter dual full pillar pod or the dual cluster bezel. The pillar pod is a little less expensive (not by much), but from the pics I've seen the bezel appears to be more integrated into the interior.
What do you folks think? Also, if you have a nice interior shot of either installed on your car, please post. Thanks!

Personally, I'm going with the autometer cluster bezel gauges - I just think they compliment the look of the dash more and are a little less conspicuous. Kinda more of a stealth look... a guy posted pics of it installed in his 04 over on NASIOC - do a search.
Somehow, if a cop pulls me over, I think he'll have more of a "street racer" mentality if he sees the gauge pods sticking out at him from the side pillar...

im eventually going to end up getting a 3 guage a pillar and the 2 pod guage bezel , but if i were to get one or the other, i would get the 2 pod bezel. they look bad *** and fit well with the car. not only would your RICE factor not be as high, but cops proabbly wouldnt trip off of it as much. A pillar guages scream street racer.

Just put on the Autometer cluster bezel-the gauges fit fine but I wish I could say the sime about the bezel-the top portion partially blocks the turn signal indicators and a portion of the speed and tach gauges. Not the fit I expected-still it is better than the Velcro I was originally using to hold the turbo gauge to my sterring wheel housing.
