^ New OEM pillar is about $80, cost of shipping and modding about $450. SCG-1 solenoid boost controller is $330, MTX-D Oil Gauge is is $170.

That a-piller is sexy with the gauges on it, looking completely like they belong there. Given what you've done to the car, spending another $1000 for this is a no-brainer.

Beautiful, Tony. You are so out of our league with this car, or like 99.9% of us.

^ Well the gauges were necessary, the pillars maybe aren't necessary but it makes the gauges not as 'in your face' as they used to be.

How they were mounted temporarily:


Another picture so you can see the whole custom pillar:


I guess as the build has come together the things inside the cabin and under the hood have taken an 'OEM quality' theme. For instance, if you look under the hood I don't think it looks like anything extravagent is going on:



I still have much more left on my to do list, but I am trying to just enjoy the car when I can.

Nice and subtle. I like it! I'm curious... Do you guys have to pass a visual inspection when you go through emissions in Texas?

^ Thanks CC!

Not much has changed in the past few weeks, I've just been driving and enjoying the car. This is really the only mod that has happened. Sorry it's the blurriest picture ever though!

As always Tony, you have an amazing build. A wicked fast sedan that can blow away just about anything out there. Keep up the good work buddy

Is the SS250 a fit for the standard diameter oil filter?
