I just received my A-pillar guage pod from Lo-Tek. The fit was not exactly what i had expected and the color is a little off. I did not expect perfection but it seem like it is a little short. Has anyone else had these problems or did i just get a bad one, i would think that the mold would be the same for all of them.

Here is one of many threads on this topic

A quick search using Lo-Tek will lead you to more info.

After Lo-Tek is finished with the three pod, they will re-do the two pod, possibly in 4-5 weeks.

I have had one of the first two pod and the top of the pillar pod is a good 3/4 of an inch from fitting correctly at the ceiling

 

So are you all returning them? Are they going to send new ones when they are corrected or what? Mine fits exactly like the pictures, but it was not damaged or scratched in shipping. It came in a square box and was inside a plastic wrap. The fit really does suck though.

They are suppose to make good after they fix the problem.

 

I also got one of the first pods way back when....I am patiently awaiting the "fix" for the 2 pod setup. What I can't believe is that Lo-Tek is STILL shipping out what they KNOW is a bad part....

Hey Lyle, are you reading this?????

 

Ditto. I also thought that was strange

HI!... I was going to purchase some guage pods from LO-TEK, but after seeing some them installed in peoples trucks, I decided to go with the AUTO METER guage pods instead. Here's some pics of my set-up:
