do you guys have any other ideas on how to mount the 3 pillar without drilling and screwing it into the A-pillar plastic. i've tried velco but that sucked. any other suggestions would be awesome thanks
mounting lotek 3 pillar gauge - 6G Celicas Forums
double sided exterior mounting tape?
whats wrong with drilling and using a screw? Its the only reliable way to do it, 3 gauges get a lil heavy for tape.

3m double sided tape, it's a very thin foam they use for trim peices on cars. The adheasive should be strong enough to hold it on, my local toyota dealer gave me some when my front emblem got broken off and it worked great. It's the only thing holding my emblem on for the last year and it hasn't budged a bit, very strong. It's worth a shot befor you try drilling any holes.

I actually took off the original peice and with some shoving the lotek one was a direct replacement. I used some wall anchors and shoved them into the holes in the a-pillar itself, and screwed into those.
Of course, i have a vert and my piece ends exactly the way the lotek one does. I understand that in the non-vert it keeps going along the ceiling.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
allright i ended up drilling into her sad but it looks nice and very strong. thanks guys for your feedback
my problem with drilling is that the place where the holes are at in the lotek pod are right over the holes in metal behind the oem plastic cover for the pillar, the spot where the stock pillar cover snaps in place, so what do i do, just drill the oem cover to another spot and then drill the lotek pilar to the oem one

take down the pillar and just plastic weld...sand it down ...and paint it ...you wont see that eye sore of a screw or use ghetto tape....it would give it a more custom look..
