Best A Pillar Mount?
Who has the best (highest quality) 'A' pillar mount.
Plan on going with a dual mount for a '98 that has the tweeter.
I plan on replacing the original as opposed to covering the old one w/ the new.
Autometer or ProPods or ???

I've got the Autometer one in my truck and i like it alot. Before i installed it i had my local autoparts store mix up some paint for it to match my dash and i painted it. It looks pretty good in there. I have a pic of it in my gallery.

i went with the diesel manor 3 gauge a piller mount with the speaker hole. thought it was suposed to fit over the stock one but the speaker wouldn't line up at all. So I took stock one off and had to put one screw into the metal framework to hold it in, the door side tucks under the rubber molding. The gauge holes were too tight to fit, so I groung them bigger to fit just right. All in all I like the result, it just took more time than I thought. P.S color wasn't a problem for me my interior was black already.

I have the autometer dual gauge w/o the tweeter in my 2000. Its a full cover, not a replacement pillar. I also painted mine to match the interior. It looks great in my truck, if those little plastic tabs weren't there holding it together no one would even know it was aftermarket.

I have a Pro Parts pod from Dieselmanor. Fit and finish it very close to perfect. You can't see the factory pillar ANYWHERE on my install. The two christmas trees on the outboard side are juuuuuuust barely showing on the edge of the weather strip, if I had been a little less worried about the edge cracking I could have gone closer and TOTALLY hid those pins.
The gauges fit sweet, I very lightly sanded one opening because it was just a bit too snug for my liking. Gauges don't move around and look great.

I have an autometer w/tweeter and it looks great. I found a used stock panel without the tweeter and mounted the autometer panel right on top of it great fit and looks. Went to the dealer and for $8 bucks got a can of paint which matches my interior.
