Evo X upgrades

[Murlo26]

Those look pretty good, I want to get that pillar, but visibility already sucks with the X, does this make it worse? If not I will have to pick one up. My gauge on the steering wheel blocks a lot of the speedo and when I get a wideband would block a lot of the tach.

I look around so much before I turn or switch lanes in the car...too many close calls just trying to use mirrors etc. Parking was even a challenge at first til i got used to the car because the visibility is so bad on the sides.

But easy when you get a feel for it. I am thinking about doing something to try and help it if possible, not sure what can be done though.

No, it's pretty much out of the way. If you're up to DB in the next few days then check it out.

This AMI pillar is spendy because it's a factory pillar with pods fiberglassed in by hand (I have a spare core if someone wants it). Rexpeed now sells a 'cover' that you glue over your own pillar and just drill holes in it for the wires. Shawn just bought one of those. It's a shiny plastic and I think he's going to look for some spray paint that matches and fix it that way.

I've run out of excuses to go up to DB...no reason to stop there unless I have parts. I do need to grab my motor mount insert from MAP and bring it to them. But I will wait to up to DB until my V2 SSP MC comes in next week.

How much is expensive? 2-300? PM me if you want.

Doah, I so want your "core" cover, just in case I decide to go back to stock. Yep the Rexpeed cover is what I have, the plastic is way to shiny to just put in, (Read glare from the sun, yuck!) I am planning on getting some matte finish paint so it matches the other a pillar (May paint them both so they match exactly).

That guage setup is so cool, major blingage!
