I bought a 3-pod pillar piece that slipped over the stock piece but ended up cutting off the pods and using Fusor to mold them to the stock piece. Ill post a pic later tonght. The ones taht slip over the stock piece fit like sh;t and look like sh;t

Dude, I ordered mine from Lo-Tek, it's a full preplacement pillar, fits just like stock and they have an option to get it to match your interior and for only like 55 bucks, that's not bad for a stock look.

Got mine for LoTek to and to me its garbage in the fitment/looks department. I guess when I want a part on my car I want to look OEM like it belongs there. The LoTek one stopped at the dash and didnt cover the whole bottom piece that runs along the doorjamb.

Anywyas heres what I did with mine. Gonna finish smoothing it and prob end up selling it since it wont really work with RHD.

I wouldn't say it's garbage. I have the same one and found the fitment and look to be great, but agree that if it was meant as a replacement pillar, it should have run down the door and met with the carpet retainer like the stock one does.

I'm still not entirely convinced that it's really meant as a replacement and not to be installed over top of the stock one.

I attached mine to the stock one and it turned out perfectly. I cut openings in the stock one to run the tubes and wires and screwed the LoTek pod to it. So now it looks great and still attaches using the stock clips rather than screwing it into the a-pillar.

You can see a bit of overlap in the pic here. That could be trimmed up I suppose, but is hardly an issue.
