Guage pod location? Photos would be awesome
Looking to see where people like to stick there gauges. I previously, in my last FD had two gauges installed on the a-pillar and it seemed that while driving every now and then I would hit my hand on the top gauge. I could not put the gauge pod down lower on the a pillar, and I could not raise it up because it would look odd. Now I am trying to figure out where to put my gauges in my new FD. I looked and looked for pictures of the center speaker pod but could not find enough that satisfied me. Im also curious to see how some look installed under the radio in the second din area.

As above, a three-gauge pod in the central speaker mount
RE-Amemiya steering column cowling for a 52mm boost gauge
Since these pics, I also have another 62mm GReddy gauge in an A-pillar mount, which like the OP I also kept clouting my knuckles on, so I cut it down to just be a single mount, which works fine. Since I've lost the Apexi Power FC (and therefore no longer have a Commander either) in faovur of a Link ECU I've now got my wideband mounted where the Commander was (no pic of that either though, sorry)

The one I focus more often is the cooling temperature gauge, which is the one on the far left. I don't have any problem looking at it once awhile during the drive, the other 2 I don't pay attention as much, which is oil temp and pressure. Boost gauge is pretty much right in front of you so you see it all the time.

If I had to do it over again, I would get a plastic one that snaps into place. Mine was kind of a pain in the *** to install. Looks nice though
I think "Bill M" has the snap in panel. I don't remember where he got it.

I won't let go
Don`t all gauges read no gas? :P
I can`t remember what exactly it was at the time...I think it was disconnected. Now it reads pegged the other way. But that`s for a whole other reason.
