Default A-pillar triple guage pod.

I want to get three Defi BF guages and they are all 60 mm guages. I want to mount them on the a-pillar and that only ones I can find from searching is the autometer guage pod. But they only house 52 mm guages. Are there any ones that hold 60mm? or do you guys just widen the hole in the autometers?

This is also an option. This is the one I use. Just needs a little modding to fit 60mm. http://www.i-m-racing.com/induortrfuap.html

I believe you just widen it, i have the 2 guage pod. Sit in one with 3 before you decide to get it. You may not like the feel of the guage on your forhead

Can you do that to the autometer? Can you widen it and still have it work?

Fortunately we aren't driving eclipses (j/k) It's different in the Z. Here is a pic of min with 2. Also yours werent 60mm and not Defi's BF's. Defi's aren't the thinnest guages.

I highly recommend the Intensepower "full" triple gauge pod. It covers the entire A pillar and can be modified to fit 60mm gauges.

Just make sure it fits the 60mm because as far as i was told the Defi "BF" only come in 60 mm the other Defi guages are in both 52 or 60mm.

True, The Defi Bf gauges are 60mm, the IM pod I believe is 52mm, but can be easily modified to fit to 60 mm.

Is it a pain to look at those guages? Is it easy to see the closest one?

Yep, you can.
I know it isn't an eclipse but I didn't think it would be THAT big of a difference. I saw the Defi guages in my friends STI and I didn't think that they looks too much bigger. I don't know anyone around me with a Z or a turbo Z for that matter. Sorry for assuming.
