Default SPP a-pillar pod/boost gauge kit... anyone using?

Someone said something about the finish being shoddy and the fabric not even anywhere near matching... that it looked like crap.

I'd love to get one but not if this is true!! anyone here use one or seen them in person? Can you verify this or is that person talking out their @ss

Default judge for yourself

you can slam it if you want, but I'm very happy with it.

Default thanks!!!! thats a perfect match if I ever saw one!>>

link here to vortex post http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=198200



and I quote

"Is SPP the company that makes the air bag pillars with the pod already installed? My friend just spent over $200 on an air bag -equipped, and pod equipped pillar and it looks like crap! You can imagine how pissed he is considering everything else on his S4 is perfect. The fabric they use does not match. And they dont remove the original fabric, so the new fabric sticks out more than the surrounding fabric. TOTAL RIP OFF"

unless there is someone else trying to make the same thing??
