      I was thinking about getting a universal 3-gauge a-pillar from glowshift and just molding it to my existing panel. Anyone done this before?

      no, it came out of a mk3 jetta.. but its an overlay style.. so you could mold it in.

      Yeah, that's what I was looking at on glowshift.com. It's like 16 bucks, I think I'll just order it since I'm ordering my gauges from them anyways. I'm getting white faced gauges that light up green, so they should match my dash cluster perfectly. I'm gonna do a wideband A/F, Voltage, and exhaust temp I think. I'm gonna try to go order a spare OEM a-pillar though and mold that one so I can reatain resale value. I'm trying to make sure all my mods can be undone if need be upon trade-in.
