gauge pillar crappy fit, solutions?

[chelfy]

I recently bought a lotek single gauge pillar for my 2g spyder gst and it looked great until i put it on the car. i did everything correctly but the one screw supplied to hold it on just doesn't seem to keep it flush with the rest of the pillar. there is a gap large enough at the top to slide a quarter into and i can't stand the way it looks. i'm trying to keep it looking clean and close to stock and this pillar just looks slapped on. anyone know of a single pod full length pillar replacement? maybe there is a simple solution but i'm assuming the fit isn't perfect and thats what i get.

I couldn't find a single full pillar pod for a decent price and only wanted a boost gauge for now, so I went with thte single add-on too. I installed it a few weeks ago. The screw they gave me was too long so when it's screwed in pretty far, it hits metal and won't go in all the way, so I just sawed the screw in half with a hacksaw. Why didn't I just use a smaller screw you may ask? The Lotek screw had a plastic cap that fit into the head and I didn't have a smaller screw that the little cap would fit in. Also make sure you're sticking the edge under the rubber on the part of the pillar closest to you.

It's still probably going to look semi-slapped on since it's not a full pillar replacement, but once you get it on right, it's not too bad.

Just get some 3M doublesided tape and fix it that way
