Gauge Pods

Gauge Pods: give your boost, oil and water gauges a home in your line of sight

A gauge pod is the mount that holds an aftermarket gauge where you can actually read it - usually the A-pillar, the dash top, or a steering column cup. When you add a boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp or air/fuel gauge, the reading is only useful if it sits in your line of sight without you leaning off the wheel. That is the whole job of gauge pods: they position the gauge cleanly, keep the wiring tidy behind the trim, and give you a finished look instead of a gauge cable-tied to the column. Vehicle-specific pods follow the curve of your pillar so they bolt in without gaps; universal cups and holders let you mount a gauge almost anywhere.

What we stock

There are 23 gauge pods in stock right now across four brands: AutoMeter makes up the bulk of the range at 20 products, with single entries from Alta, Turbosmart and BLOX Racing. Current prices run from $28 to $230 - the low end being a universal 52mm holder, the high end a triple dash pod for a specific car. That is the live in-stock range, not a standing offer.

Fitment data is on 15 of these products, spanning model years from 1989 to 2024. The vehicles named in that data include the Nissan Skyline, 300ZX and 240SX, Ford Mustang, Toyota MR2 and Supra, Mazda RX-7, Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro, Nissan 350Z, Mini Cooper and Pontiac Firebird.

How to choose

Two questions decide it. First, how many gauges? Single-gauge cups like the Turbosmart 52mm mounting cup or the BLOX Racing adjustable holder suit one gauge and go on nearly any car; triple pods like the AutoMeter 350Z pillar pod carry three and cost more. Second, vehicle-specific or universal? A pod cut for your car - like the Alta R56 Mini Cooper pod - fits the pillar shape exactly, while an adjustable holder trades that clean fit for flexibility. Almost everything here is sized for 52mm (2 1/16") gauges, so confirm your gauge diameter before you buy.

What else you need with it

The pod holds the gauge, but the wiring lives next door in Electrical Accessories. While you are working the interior, buyers often pair a pod with Shift Knobs, Racing Seats and Seat Brackets. Browse everything under the Interior section to see the full range.
