see if GReddy/Trust make any for the 996 or possible they have single universal pieces. if care how it looks, can graft to the orig a-pillar and rewrap, otherwise they normally come in textured black plastic, bolt into place, with cap for bolt

Thanks for the replies guys. I am really looking for a complete A-pillar replacement instead of the bolt on holders. Might just have to do a re-wrap but that would get expensive. I have found these suction cup mounts that a lot of guys are running.

As ricer as some may think they are, they are still good for solo passes in the car. Looking down at a small boost gauge on the EBC or even a gauge mount on the center console could cost you your life, someone else's life, or even your car.

When they are mounted on the A-Pillar you have easy access to viewing important things such as actual boost (not what the dash says), Fuel Pressure, EGT's, A/F, or whatever you are wanting to monitor. While looking at this you can still focus on the road more so than when you are looking down at the center console.

If they made one for our cars I'd have mine re-wrapped to match the interior and mount Boost, A/F, and my HFS-6 Meth Monitor. My old Vortech'ed 98 Cobra 'Vert had a A-Pillar with Boost and Fuel Pressure. Knowing the fuel pressure saved my *** sometimes because I could tell if my vacuum hoses were all hooked up. Technology wasn't as good back in 2001 though where I could easily monitor a/f, etc..

Also MK it was nice seeing you again. Hope to see you down at the next mile and possibly TX2K10!
