Just a Quick Question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #19325 6 posts Started by hyp3rk1d
I searched this topic, found it but didnt get the response i was looking for... Will I be able to snap my stock Pillar out and just replace it with the lotek one or will I have to drill through the pillar thats in the car now and hold it down with a screw?? Let me know and can I see a picture if anyone has one. Thanks
I believe the mold was made off a convertible, so I'm not sure if it will cover the entire original pillar.

Anyone know?

I know us verts have it easy tho >smile.gif>
It can do either. the only problem is your existing Pillar go's all the way to like the back seat area, but the lotek pillar only go's a little above the windshiled, so even if you took out your pillar and had only the lotek, you would have to cut your existing pillar for the remaining strech above the side window.

Also, just to mention this, the lotek poillar only fits smaller type guages. Which excludes any high end guages such as Apex, HKS, Greddy, Blitz etc. And leaves you with basically only autometer guages to choose from.
so basically I should just drill into the existing pillar.... Thanks guys
the mold was made off a hatches a pillar, but was test fitted on my car, which is a vert. Lotek only made it to go just past where the windshiled ends. This was fine for me, as thats where the verts one ends. So it was a direct replacement for me. But for everyone else, it extends all the way back, so you either need to cut that part off from your stock one, or just drill into your stock one and place the lotek one on top.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
