The pods meant for early 90s Civics supposedly fit with very little modification.

Someone here has a pillar from an integra that fit quite nicely even with our automatic seatbelts.

That looks like it fits pretty well... Did you have to modify it at all?

Ok, I just bought and installed one meant for a 88-91 CRX, it actually fits pretty well, but it was a bitch to get all the wires through the dash and then wired up. Its worth the 30$ I spent though :D

I gave up looking for pods, and now I just use a Splitfire gauge in the cup which is screwed into the apillar, does the job, looks neat.

Hey Mac. Do you have any pics of your pod installed? I"m looking for something for my 05 Baja Turbo. I know the pillars are similar. I just want to see something installed. THANKS :)!

I can grab a pic of my setup soon if ya want. I am using one from an early CRX, but it is not the whole pillar replacement. Only 2 gauges, but it was pretty damn easy to fit (used a heat gun to tweak one corner, but other than that it fit about perfect), and would likely work with the auto seatbelts as well (I have canadian belts in mine, so I removed the rails and all that shit).
