Question Where to mount gauges?? pls post pics

I am looking into getting a turbo, and a couple gauges. I was just wondering where people are mounting them, and if they could post some pics of their creations. I have seen the pillar pod, and the dash pod. I don't like the dash pod because it covers up my gas and temp gauge. I want the gauges to be somewhat hidden so when I get a turbo people won't really know I did much to my car because they can't see the gauges on a pillar. Thanks guys.

I thought about putting them there, I kinda want it to be un-noticable, you know?? If there aren't any other options I will end up putting it there. Do you know where to get them in different colors?? I have the tan interior, and dont want it to be black.

Have you thought about your glove compartment. When you don't need to view them you just close the compartment up and when you need them, you would just open it up.

Or have you thought of the area where the cigerette lighter/OEM Fog light switch goes, that would be a incognito area.

These are my suggestions and sorry I don't have any pictures.

I thought about putting them where the little flap is under the deck. So if anyone knows if they will fit let me know.

it probably wont fit if u have different than stock hu that kinda comes down, cuz all guage (i think) will stick over the top or bottom of the bottom din. unless theres guages smaller than 2 1/16" or 5 cm or wutbere ther smalles ones are

kinda like this

======== < space for hu
==0==0== < bottom din
my ghetto picture haha
