Do you have any complaints? I hear someone say the top gauge ends up being right in your face. Is this your opinion or would you say it isn't a problem? Thanks.

i have one, and yes the top gauge is a bit high for my liking. i will be moving the boost gauge from that location to the clock spot, and replace it with a different gauge.

It doesnt bother me at all, I like the set up alot better than the dual pod I had before.
Okay, as long as it isn't too obtrusive. I want to keep the clock because I did the blue VFD to make it light up blue to match the odo.

It's not that in your face. Takes some getting used to.

Get it from http://www.gaugepods.com
I was thinking about it but I wasn't happy with their customer service when I emailed numerous times about a few they had on eBay.

Horsepowerfreaks.com has them for $58 painted so I won't have to worry about painting it either.

I *personally* prefer nothing more than a dual guage pillar set up because the third gauge is so high on the pillar. Could I live with it on my car? SURE COULD. I just like having 2 on the pillar, and one in the clock spot. :)

I don't use my visor anyway. My buddy does window tint and clear bra. I had him do a tint visor on the windshield so the sun isn't an issue.

Just thought of something, can I lower it enough to loosen/tighten the targa bolts?

I have a tripple gauge pod and it doesn't bother me at all. As others have said, you can only put the visor half way down, but you said that wasn't an issue. BTW, I believe all of the tripples come set up for 52mm. gauges. I have three 60 mm. in mine, but had to use a die grinder to open up the holes a bit. Drew

I have a triple gauge pod, and the only complaint I had was the obstruction of my visor. It slips past it still, but can be a minor annoyance. The other thing is that if you continuously open and close the visor, it may loosen up the stock plastic holders for the pillar itself. This, as you probably know, is an easy fix. If the autoparts store doesnt have the stock plastic clips for the toyota, then you can use the one from honda...fits the same sized holes, and actually seems to work for me better. Keep all your "Hybrid" comments to yourself...my MKIV is still 99.99% Toyota!! :)

Oh, and I have FULL use of my visor, it just rubs a bit when it goes by (no damage, just a tight fit). Ill find out who makes it if you are interested...and its not in my face.

You can actually buy the tripples pre-cut for 60mm if that's what you want. I have three 52mm Autometer C2 gauges sitting here so the 52mm pod is perfect for me.

The bottom 2 are 60MM and the top isn't 52MM, it is a 2 1/16th. :p It's a 52MM pod, the holes have been opened up for the 60MM gauges.

I have a triple gauge. I love it. Does not block my view at all. Like others have said the sunviser does need to be slid by into the down position, but goes right up when your done. I bent my visor a bit and seemed to do the trick.
