I was extremely disappointed with the fitment of my 2-gauge A-pillar so I decided to go with the Autometer Instrument Cluster Gauge Bezel to move my gauges near my tachometer. Anyone who has an A-pillar knows that it's a PITA keeping an eye on your boost gauge and your RPMs at the same time when they are on opposite sides of your console so I gave this a shot. I have seen many of these off-brand models on ebay and other sites, but I opted to pay the extra $25 for the Autometer version. I picked it up on Amazon.com of all places for $50. When I recieved it my first impression was that it was pretty flimsy compared to the stock bezel trim. Nonetheless, I was very happy with the fitment and the look of the piece once installed. My only complaint is that it did not have provisions to attach the rubber piece that covers the gap between the steering column and the dashboard. I was able to lay this in place and it was held down by the tension between the bezel trim and dash itself. All in all, I think that this piece looks very good, and I couldn't be happier with the fitment of it. I would definately recommend it to anyone interested in installing or relocating their gauges. Placement is very sensible and it looks very clean.
