i want to add some gauges to my 2.8 z3, i don't feel that the basic gauges do the car justice. but i can't decide if i like the thought of putting them on the -pillar.
any thoughts, ideas, pics, are much appreciated.

those look pretty good from what i can see. what brand? where? how much?
i too have the chrome rimmed gauges in the dash and the chrome rings around the
a/c controls, the chrome would conplete the look.

any more pics?
thanks for the input

thanks for the input | they are auto meter carbon fiber volt and oil.The pillar is also auto meter.Cost 150.00.Very happy with setup and quality installed myself. Sorry no more interior pics available long day at work and had to get ready for homecoming leaving early in morning.You can zoom in on that photo though, it will stay pretty clear

I like the idea of pillar gauges, but there is one thing I can not stand about them...
Every application I have seen does not blend seamlessly with the pillar. There is always some sort of space in between the gauge setup and the pillar that screams "I'm not OEM, someone bolted me on!"
I think that if someone could do one that looked more factory than aftermarket, it would be awesome. No akward gaps between the gauges and the pillar, no mis-matched colors.... I think it would look great.
