Where do you place your gauges?

I ordered a few gauges and I can't decide where to place them. Looking for some ideas. If you can post a pic of your current set up thats be super cool

Since my demister grilles were long gone, I made a demister twin gauge pod for my boost & wideband gauges. Puts them right in your line of sight without being too distracting

You didn't specify what car you had.
I just have two aftermarket gauges...boost and temp. Boost is in line-of-sight to the tach, which helps. Temp is as low on the 'A' pillar as I could get it so it doesn't look too rice or affect peripheral. Rely on PFC commander for everything else.

I like a clean "OEM"-ish look:

Same reason why I went with the similar dash-mount style on my old RX-8:

Altough Im FC I went for a more invisible approach. I didnt want anyone but me to see the gauge so I put it right in front of my speedometer. The speedometer is still visible even with the gauge in front of it

Speedhut. You can customize their gauges on their site, great quality. They do like 25% off for Black Friday.
