If we need to get you a replacement pod let me know.

I just got the Autometer one from Amazon.com. Fits great.

I did notice that the supply of Autometer 3 gauge pods is starting to dry up out there though. When I first started looking, they were available everywhere. Last week, it seems like hardly anyone had one anymore, so I jumped on a chance to order one.

I've heard bad things about the fit of some of the import versions (like the one that comes with Glowshift, for instance). I haven't seen one in person to say if the hearsay is true or not, but I went for the name brand while I could get it.

I have a 95 and the Autometer pod slides over the stock A pillar. It fits nicely, with room for the wires to go under the dashboard right at the lower corner. I suppose it could actually replace the stock pillar. I've not exactly tried that yet. Just got it and held it up against the stocker to see how it looked.

I'm planning on leaving mine black also -- matches the trim around my dashboard.
