well we are sticking with three, I need to know right now before I continue this very important question, the reason being is it could make this a lot easier on all of us as well as look factory and stock. With that mold that I posted yesterday even though I am working on perfecting it today, I would have to put in about 20 hours PER pillar. to top it off it will not be textured like your other pillar it will be smooth ready for paint.... I want people to see this and go what did you? I do not want the reaction wow you have a pillar pod that you threw in there. Ok no more suspense.

WHO WOULD STILL BE IN FOR THESE if they were covered in the same fabric as the headliner??? MEANING no painting, no messing with anything elese just get it in the mail pop it in and install you gauges, looking completely factory.

Go look at your pillar it is already textured to look like the headliner, these would be wrapped in that same fabric. Now here is the kicker, this can be done one of two ways. One I make the pillar pod covered in fabric I send it to you, Two You send me your pillars PLURAL and I HAVE them both covered making it the best possible look. Now this may come at a little bit more of a price but I Think this is the best and only option. I am throwing this out there now because I Want to know who would still be in and who would be out if this was the only option. Reason being the more we have for this option the cheaper it is going to be I mean significantly. The guy quoted about 70 dollars because of fabric prices I told them what If I had ten he said probably about $30-$40 maybe less......

I might be jumping the gun, I am still working on the design from yesterday no worries A few more hours and I can make that work just fine. But It will be so much easier on my life if I could make an overlay double side tape it on to your pillar and wrap the whole thing in fabric. Main reason I am throwing this out there this would eliminate the need for the edges to be rolled, it could just but right up against it because the fabric would hide it >>>

Below are some pictures of what I am talking about with the overlay, minus the pillars it is a much smoother easier process to work with....
