Default Three gauge A pillar pod -opinions?

While brainstorming a couple of months ago about the shortcomings of the S2000 gauge cluster Jonathan Jones at Maximum Velocity Motorsports and I came up with an idea that he and his fabricator made real.

The two gauge A pillar has been around for a long time but a three gauge solution has required a lot of modification to the car's interior and an unfavorable angle when you're done.

For those of us who are FI and those who are just paranoid about a real oil pressure, coolant temperature, etc. gauge this is a viable option.

From the driver's seat and then zoomed:





Visibilty issues are virtually nill - really no more than seeing around the A pillar with nothing on it.

Feedback and critiques welcome.

I would feel like I have 3 people staring at me while I drive. But then, I'm not anal about oil pressure and such. Looks like a cool solution though. Sounds like you've got your first sale too.
