Not bad at all thxs. There is another one that take place of center speaker on the dash too i just found. That one that replaces the dash speaker looks more appealing especially with the top down and at night lol

if you find one specifically for a convertible post up and let us know. I too am looking but can't find one for the pillar because i really don't like the ones for dash.

Ortiz pod for me. I didn't want the pillar pod. I wanted something more stealth and clean looking

My autometer pillar pod fits like sh*t. I may just go with the aeroforce vent dual pod.

if you do not like the Pillar pods or the dash barrel styles. I think they make round mount holes for the 4 gauge OEM cluster pod location. I remember seeing this area used for aftermarket gauges.

I used to make them custom for a couple members here by combining the stock Vert pillar and an autometer or speedhut coupe pod, which aligns the gauges best. They have to be made to fit closer to the dash pad so the microphone in the pillar will work along with the clips that the coupe pod does not have to hold it in. A stereo shop with a good fiberglass guy should be able to knock it out.

Ortiz will take a OEM convertible A Pillar and make the custom double or triple gauge pods on that platform. Just call or email them and tell them what you want.
