T Montague's 2zr swap - '08 m/t sedan some extra info

[06YarisRS]

Revisiting the EBay gauge pod. I know, Trevor, that it didn't work for your sedan despite the listing saying that it would fit. I took many pics of the A-pillar cover in my '08 and '06 and this aftermarket A-piller looks very similar at every point. In my pic below, you can see that the Sedan has a very different A-Piller design than the hatch. Even though it looks as though they have tried to recreate the actual pillar, I would expect some fit and finish issues as well as having to figure out a way to attach the pod. Also, it's much shinier than my OEM pillar. I could adjust for that with a satin of flat clearcoat. I'm thinking I might order this pod, keeping in mind that some adjustments may have to be made. I'm not finding other locations in the car to mount gauges that are appealing to me. I could drill my driver's side upper glove box, but not really into that.
