You got the generic right??

I have one of those aftermarket stereo install brackets that comes witht he cover plate for the hole under the stereo.. I cut holes in that and mounted my gauges in there..

you could do something similar if you have an aftermarket stero kit... just use the plate you have as trim incase you bitch up the holes.

Get creative with your bad self

If you mean the A-pillar pods from egauges.com, I've got those. I had them rivited on tot the A-pillar plastic interior trim with some nice flat-black colored rivits... so you can't see them.

Note if you have auto-seat belts you'll need to notch the gauge pods so the seatbelt track won't be interupted.

Are you looking for a complete install write up? Or are you asking for suggestions on how to do it?

Thats the same kit that crutchfield sells, You can get the "Writeup" (aka directions with wiring diagrams) from them.

I had that kit, it was a peice of junk. I bought a gauge/DIN holder from 1fast t2 best money I've ever spent.
