Gauge Pod Question?

Has anyone purchased the "ProPod" triple gauge pod (Pro-93022) for an 02-04 L from rpmoutlet.com?

If so, how did it fit at the top compared to the stock pillar cover? The 02-04 differ somewhat at the top from the 99-01!

I just purchased one for my '04. I just test fit it and am now painting it to match the interior, the fit is very good.

SW,
If you have a gap between the headliner and the curvature of the pod at the top, pull the rubber door trim back and take some bubble-rap and stuff it into the area above the headliner to force the headliner down and fill any gaps. Works great and makes it look factory!

From what I have seen, the gauges stick out futher on all of the other manufactures than they do on the Lotek, especially the top one!

I have one of their triple gauge pods and the fitment sucks. The top is not molded correctly and the gauge holes are not flat and you can see the whites of the side of the gauges. Looks really cheap and crappy. I plan to get an Autometer pod next time and just suck up having to paint it.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. If that doesn't work or looks bad, I may pull it off and try heating and bending it.
