I'd be afraid of the airbag deployment launching that pillar pod at my face.

The A-Pillar has a strap to limit it's travel. The top of the pillar comes loose first the angles are all wrong for the pod to be launched. If the pod was separated it would go into the dash. We played with the angles and the strap works when designing this.

Thank you! I really wanted one, but couldn't get past the fact of the airbag placement.

It;s really not in the scope of this thread. Might want to start a new one asking how to connect the gauges.

your just gonna have to wing it when it comes to the wiring.

With your car door open there is a side panel on the dash that can be removed giving you a downward path to under your dash/firewall. Remove your current pillar cover and seek a wiring path to that space.
