i didn't like the a pillar either, especially didn't want to see my handle go away, i went with the 3 gauge pod over the rear view mirror fits really well, looks good too! talk to dennis at ITP, hes got assemble it yourself kits, one kit that comes with everything you need. he has pre-assembled kits too if you are less electrically inclined. you really do need at least a pyrometer for running the 120, and anything else if you are towing.
