Default Pillar Boost Gauge W/ custom aphostery?

Has anyone installed a pillar mount boost gauge and had it covered with origional Audi fabric to match the interior? I want to think about doing this but I don't know ....

DOes any company make Pillar mounts that already have matching origional fabric to Audi? I have the beige interior
Can you buy the exact matching fabric from Audi or somewhere?
Has anyone had to pay an interior expert to take the pillar mount, buy the fabric, and make it an exact match to the car?
How much cash am I looking at to get this done and who should i call??

Sorry about all the questions, but all I can find on line is basic pillar mounts that relly wont look that great unless I get a custom fabric job

Thanks

OK I just called them and They said that I have to send them my pillar AND the fabric that I want to use, they do not have extra matching fabric to use .... The suggested I go the junk yard andtry to find the fabric....does anyone know another place to buy the Audi OEM fabric new?

I like the offset steering wheel mount ... the vent mout is cool too ... I Have an 02 a4 avant, and I think I may have an airbag in my pillar, so I may not be able to do the pillar mount gauge at all ..... unless I want my boost gauge lodged in my skull if iget in a wreck! I need to look into it ... thanks for the links guys...

Keep in mind that with the vent mount, you can no longer direct the air from that vent towards you.
Some air still passes through, but just not in your direction - it stays straight.
