Yes it definately fits over, if it replaced the a-pillar, it would include the part of the A-pillar which extends to the roof. Also theres alot of clips and such which attach the apillar moulding to the metal a-pillar, all which are absent in the aftermarket gauge pods.

Eh, I dunno about the clips; it seems to be designed to be screwed into the sheetmetal of the A-pillar. And how do you mean, "the part that extends to the roof"? I thought it did, it looks like it...

it designed to screw into ur existing "A" pillar...be careful not to screw into the wires behind the "A" pillar, like me....doh!

wot he means by the part that extends to the roof is...the part that extends to the "B" pillar (the pillar that holds the seatbelt.

Ah, I see. It still looks to me like it replaces the A pillar :P but whatever. I may take mine off (if it's not too huge a hassle) to see if I can work it on in place.. somehow, it looks too "added on" as-is.

I personally feel that they did not color match at all....i got black and paid for charcoal....w/ the darker window tint, however, it isnt as noticeable unless u r looking for the difference.....

I suppose one cood try and remove ur "A" pillar and replace it w/ the gauge pod....i may try and do it, too...but then...wot are u gonna attatch it to?

The steel behind the current A-pillar cover. I mean, it's supposed to replace a stretch of the stock A-pillar cover (that really is how it looks to me), so I'm gonna try and swing that.

I hear ya on the colormatching, I paid for tan, and it doesnt' really match. However, the A-pillar does seem to be a different shade than the rest of the interior, so I don't really fault them.
