Default Gauges/Gauge pods?

With the incoming mods I'm planning on doing, I was considering picking up an Interceptor scan gauge, and perhaps a couple of others for the hell of it. My biggest concern is where I would mount them, because as far as I know there aren't any gauge pods available that are tailored specifically for our cars, and I would prefer to have them on the A-pillar. Any thoughts?

Edit: I really should've done the google work first, but I managed to find something at least:

http://www.gaugepods.com/chevy.html

Seems they've got gauge pods for 6th gens. Seem legit?

Is this the only place to find a pillar pod for 6th gen. I'm having a hard time finding one but will just buy from here if it's a good site

I've been wanting one of these for a while now but
1)they don't make a pillar pods for the 06 & 07, so i'd be hoping the 00-05 would fit
2)i don't know the first thing about hooking up all the different gauges
3)not sure which gauges to even go with...probably volts, trans temp, and oil temp, but not completely sure though
4)scared of how big of a blind spot there's gonna be

I really only need one pod for my aeroforce that should be here soon but I'm sure I'll think of somthing to put in the other two. I'm looking for a black one if anybody is selling one just let me know soon or else I'll probably just order one from gaugepods.com thanks

I actually saw a silver monte here in Ames yesterday that had a pillar pod. My first thought was why is he not on Monte Forum? lol I thought about informing him but I wasn't in my monte and my girlfriend wasn't up for me yelling from car to car at the stop light lol

I have 6 extra gauges mounted. 3 on the pillar and 3 in a pod on the dash similiar to the Subaru STI pod. Pillar turbo boost related gauges. Dash pod has, Fuel pressure, tranny temp and oil pressure. All AEM. Might look into the actual 6th gen A pillar pod as I have one from the GP and had to trim it and it still looks hokey. Thanks for the link
