Ya I was looking at the socal diesel ones and I like them the only thing is im only running one aeroforce intereptor right now so Id have an open hole. And the other thing is they are wicked expensive. Although I was contemplating making my own single gauge pod to go up there since I have access to a full machine shop right on the other side of the wall at my work and theres always tons of scrap aluminum and different plastics so I could pretty easily make my own pod for up there the only other thing I was wondering about that is how much of a pain is it to run wires up to the over head console? And how does the console it self come out of the head liner and does the A pillar just pop off??

Awesome that looks alot easier than I thought. Now the aeroforce interceptor plugs in to the OBDII port im assuming I have to run the wire from the OBDII up the A pillar and up into the headliner and over to the console right? I read somewhere that the pillar it self just pulls off correct? And any idea if its going to be a pain to get the wire from the OBDII up into the pillar to run it up to the headliner?

Pulling the A-pillar is cake. No problem at all. Just use Luke's coathanger method and you should be good to go.

I wish I had my old phone. I could show you one almost as bad. I got mine right after Mitch and I took a piece of 3M double stick and stuck it on top of my steering column. It actually stuck to the guage bezel so it didn't look like ass.
