It's pretty common down here, but more for the ricers! Standard Autometer gauges are all they use. You can buy the mounting cups that come with all the stuff you need.

The only time I would do it, is for mounting mechanical pressure gauges for fuel or oil, or oil temp where you want to keep the flammable and/or hot liquids out of the cabin... For obvious reasons.
