JohnA Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I've tried to fit the A-pillar pod from my ex-calibra, but it doesn't look like it fits very well. Are there pillar pods specifically for the Supra, or they all generic and you cross your fingers that it will fit nicely? cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 There are supra specific ones I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have a greddy one, Not impressed with the fit, I had to trim it a fair ammount to get it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 The one on ebay is excellant. Perfect fit and delivered on time and I think cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have a greddy one, Not impressed with the fit, I had to trim it a fair ammount to get it to fit. I got a GReddy one off Nic (barg price too ) but I haven't tried to fit it yet. How did you attach it to the original A-pillar trim? Those nasty screws of some sticky stuff....? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen one that says it's fiberglass and needs priming/painting. Is that the one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Here's two I found. Like John said the more expensive one needs priming, where as the other one comes ready to be fitted to your car. Also the delivery on both is only £5.00. Not sure whether anyone has bought one! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7971359974 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7950517370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its fits properly the colour or finish is unlikely to match with the Supra interior.

The section that houses the gauge is angular compared to the Greddy version. Not sure if these are intended to replace the stock trim, or fit over the top of the trim. The Greddy one fits over the top of the stock trim and ends at the top of the a-pillar (does not include strip around window.) It also comes with holes ready to fit gauge.

Rajinder Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The one I bought was from Jocktheshockerr item no. 7950517370 and did not have to paint it either just used son of a gun black sort of polish from Halfords.I personally think it is good product fitted just fine except if you do order specify that you need 2 inches more on the door end side. On the first week of Miami opening their workshop at Basingstoke I had the opportunity to see a few supras with pillar pods and this product is just as good as any.To me price is irrelevant it is the delivery on time that is important and this item was delivered exact on time.

To me price is relevant mate, same as delivery. I'm not prepared to pay a premium just because of the F&F hype, or the 'Rip-off-Britain' factor. I'm an old-fashioned tight git I'm afraid, none of this 'cool britania/metro man' bollox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 There was a couple of the A pillar gauge pods on Ebay the other day, perhaps they are still there approx £50.00 new. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will now let you know if it fits !! I tested it today for general fit and I would call it 9/10. The gap at the lower end that slots in to the dash is not a wide so you do have a gap, not really noticable though. The shape of the mould is perfect and the thin section over the door is a good match. The plastic dark colour match is very good also. Shame that they do not have the fixing blocks built in, a little fabrication now required before finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
