i have my tweet currently cut into my pillar (just a hole and then tweets
(in their cup) plugged in. Does making a small pod or facing them into the
center (between the driver or passenger) help or where should i face them.
Right now they're just facing each other

Face each one to your ears. High frequencies are too directional. You could
also do away with putting it on top of dash facing the windshield, but the
whole is already cut, so use it to the most by facing to yourself.

I always face them to the others side seat, that way they usually
sound flatter as on axis tweeters often have peaking. By pointing to
the other side, the sound field is much more even throughout
the sitting positions. I also like to add a center mix tweeter
to crate a better image.

Another problem you are probably having is early reflection off of the
windshield mixing with the direct information. This causes a "blurring" of
the image and an un-natural aggressive sound.. Tipping them in a bit can
help but try not to aim for one spot. The left to the passenger and the
right to the driver is enough.

Having the left side one facing the passenger and the right-side one facing
the driver tends to work best. As already mentioned, tweeters can be VERY
directional and "peaky" so by facing them towards the opposite side you help
smooth out the frequency response.

I would experiment with rear-fill. I have always been fairly successful at
using rear-fill to help a) raise the sound-stage (though this may not be a
problem for you if your tweeters are on the A-pillars) and B) rear-fill can
help anchor a center-image. Try running your rear-fill in mono. This helps
stabilize your center image.
