I looked real hard and never found anything. You'd think there'd be something given the Soarer running a turbo. I'll bet there is something in AUS or Japan.

I was able to use a universal pod on the pillar, it is black and I have a tan interior. Someday I'll wrap it in vinyl or leather for appearance. Pep Boys sells them; $30 single or double pod. One an appearance basis, I'd rate it a 3 of 10 in looking good in a tan interior. With black interior, probably a 8 of ten.

AFAIK there are none specifically available for Soarers either (otherwise I would've bought one for mine), buit I have seen a universal one made by TRUST (they say it's only for RHD cars only though). What I was thinking of doing was taking a spare A-pillar interior trim and fixing that gauge pod to the A-pillar and fibreglassing it so that it's smooth and have the panel trimmed in black vinyl so it blends with the rest of my interior.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that done here on CL as well, I think Chino here on the forums has done it, you might wanna PM him for more details

Check out http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/. They have some of the best looking gauge pods on the market. I had a pair of them in my old Cobra.
