Dual gauge pod A-pillar?

Is there currently a dual gauge pod A-pillar available? The reason I am asking is because I just got an interceptor scan gauge and I also want to keep the factory boost gauge.I have been looking but haven't found anything yet. Or is there a gauge pod that can mount in the compartment on top of the dash (I have seen similar gauge pods for other GM cars). Thanks for any info!!!

You have to be care full if you put any more gauges on the a piller. Some cars have airbags up there.

Anyway, I have been working on fiberglassing a Dual pod that will sit on the door near the A piller. Fiber work is done but im not great with bondo so its taking me a long time to work the perfect shape in to the pod.

would you mind posting a picture of the rough idea of what you're doing? i'm trying to visualize this, and the best i can come up with in my head would look funny as heck lol.

I was looking at this myself... how do you think a dual gauge setup would cause problems for the bags if a single does not? Not disagreeing, just curious.

A dual gauge pod on the A-pillar shouldn't cause any problems on the HHR. I believe relicstone is referring to having airbags in the A-pillar which I don't beleive any of the HHRs do and especially not in my case(I don't have side curtain airbags). I believe the HHRs with the side curtain airbags contain them in the area above the heads of the both driver side doors and both passenger side doors. I am not 100% sure on this but that is the way it was on my cobalt ss and no problems with dual gauge pods on there.
