Default Pillar Pods for 1st gen

hey guys... i just got my glowshift gauges in yesterday and got to looking at the pod they sent me for em. Its a pillar pod but lookking at it .. it seems as if the holes for the gauges are to steep up and i wont be able to seem em if i mount it. Where have you guys found pods for the 1st gens??

Thanks Tony

I have heard the glowshift aren't a very good quality, so i hope you have good luck with them. Autometer has the pod for the first gen, problem is they are only a single or dual pod so your very limited. But anywhere that has gauges for sale has them, but just put up a price quote and have one of the sponsors get ya some.

The glow shift pods suck dont even waste your time puting it in I had one I took it out because you cant read the gauges (points them to roof)
so I put in a custom autometer 3 gauge pod here are some things for you
Gauge Pods
any one want the glow shift pod? Its free just pay shipping?

by the way how do you like that HX35W? with the 12cm housing?

I have a pillar pod but the angle on it sucks for me being only 5'8" so I put mine on the dash . Looks goofy but works for me. Don't mind the pistol in the cuphodler.
