Has anybody had experiance with putting these in. Apparently they are supposed to be moulded to the A pillar on a 3rd gen magna, but for the life of me I can't get it so sit flush. Any attempts to bend the mounts to fit the A pillar simply pops the A pillar out.

Yeah, no probs. I can see how it's been molded to fit. I'll take some photos for future reference so others know what they are getting into.
Don't get me wrong it'll fit. It'll just need a bit of work for it to do so ... like a bit of heating and cutting.

Yeah. I'll try my luck with the seller. I didn't mind making them fit thou, but the price I paid ($150) you'd expect them to do a better job.

to be honest it is quite ugly.i had brought an auto meter dual pod for me old honda. it stuck out like dogs balls even colour coded to the trim still stood out in front of your eyes so i got my hands on some medium density foam and moulded my own

Direct fit pillar - no modification required"
It also says returns are for store credit though.

You would probally be better of disputing the product due to the "no modification required" statement, and getting you money back.
Then with that money you could probally ask a member to nicely Fiberglass your A Pillar to suit 2 or 3 gauges, and then they wouldnt look horrible like the ones in the link do.
