Where do you place your gauges?

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
