Default best gauge pod

hello,

which is the best 2-pillar gauge pod for our stock a-pillar replacement? (specifically for 52mm gauges)
i've tried searching the forums and google, however there aren't many posts regarding which is preferable. i currently have an SOS gauge cover, but fitment isn't great and looking for more of a direct replacement.

thanks in advance.

The autometer pod is also a cover, but it fits very well and the color & texture is very similar to the oem parts. Not exact, but very close. I'm pretty picky about these things, and am very happy with mine.

The autometer can be used as a replacement as well. I removed my pillar completely and used just the autometer pillar. Fitment is near perfect. The only thing missing is the defrost vent grill. It is just an opening now. I suppose I could cut the grill out of my stock one, but I didn't want to hack into the factory pillar.

that actually looks pretty good
how were you able to keep it in place if you replaced the whole factory pillar? i tried to keep mine in place without the factory pillar, but it would require a bracket or a really long tapping screw

Another fan of the dual Autometer.

I had an SOS single. It wasn't that good of quality but didn't look like absolute crap either. Color matched just fine, but the texture was a bit different.
