Oh well, I tried Curse you, censorship!

It's not hard to find if you go to jalopnik. Of course, that does mean you have to go to jalopnik, and may have to find time to shower afterward...

Can you cut and past the text? What are they? My guess below

1. Fart can
2. F&F spoiler/wing
3. Neons
4. 10' diameter 'Rimz'
5. LED washer nozzles
6. Primer body kit
7. 'Stance'
8. Led/dice valve caps
9. Graphics
10. Big ass mofo speakers smashing windows three blocks away.

Here they are, straight from the article (sans explanations)

1. Lift Kit

2. HID Kit in Stock Housings

3. Eco Stickers

4. Confederate Flag in the Rear Window

5. Pillar Gauges

6. Sticker Overload

7. Chroming Your Car

8. No Mufflers

9. Rolling Coal

10. Stance

Lift kits, HID kits in stokc headlights, ECO stickers, Confederate flag, A-pillar gauges, Sticker overload, Chroming your car, No mufflers, Rolling Coal, Stance

Here, try this!!

We'll see if that works...

I have no idea why pillar gauges makes someone an a-hole. It in no way effects other people.

I would replace that one with something like truck nuts, no fat chicks stickers or those Calvin peeing stickers.

Saw a sticker yesterday: 'Stance will make her dance'.

Link that works:

Big +1 on A-pillar gauges. They have an uncanny power to make otherwise good builds look like horrible ricer projects.

I never went for pillar gauges or big tachometers mounted on top of the dash, because I figure it's just one more reason for some shiny happy person to smash the window and rip them out for $20 in crack money

Hey, I actually use my A-pillar gauges...

Wow, more wonderful "news" from Jalopnik. Idiots.

I have an A-pillar gauge pod on my MSM. It makes me rage. Can't wait to get rid of it. Rattle-y thing that won't stay in the berkeleying a-pillar plastic, and blocks entirely too much field of view.

I have a vacuum-boost gauge and a water temp gauge in the pod. The water temp on the dash now tells me oil temperature.

I've got boost and an empty hole in mine. I was going to put a real oil pressure gauge in, but now i just want to get rid of the pod and get one of those din panels for the gauges.

I've been looking for a 1-DIN or 1.5-DIN 3-gauge panel...can't find them anywhere.

Cheap and E36 M3ty: http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/Universal-Triple-Gauge-Single-Din-Gauge-Pod.aspx

Various Miata vendors have one that's the same design but probably higher quality.

Or the same exact thing, but with added markup? Who knows.

I swear someone made a metal one, though. Maybe it was NJoy?

Here's some from Goodwin.

I actually like A-pillar gauges. Last vehicle I had them in was a Dodge Ram I used for towing.

Yeah, looking down at a DIN panel would be like looking into another room. I'd never see them under most circumstances that I really needed to.

You shouldn't be looking at them anyways. Unless you're talking about warning lights they have.

I have one that's supposedly for an NB Miata that is (again supposedly) single DIN in size. PM me if interested.

Any reason those angled DIN 3-gauge panels couldn't be flipped for RHD?
