ok.. i started one of these before, but it didnt yield much. so try again

so as i look to go fi, one of the most difficult things im finding is what to do about gauges. having nav kinda leaves me outta the option of doing cubby mounts. i have narrowed down a couple options.

1) blitz/hks nav display

while this is an AWESOME solution, u are looking at the better part of $2k to get all the necessary pieces and install... and well im not cool with that

2) Custom A pillar mount. i know a couple people have done this BUT idk if i wanna rask catching an autometer in the face at airbag speeds in a side impact.

plus, i'm not so sold on the look...

3) getting something like this:

and just mounting (velcro'ing) it to the left of the steering wheel where its pretty well hidden out of sight.

other than this, i am out of idea. i didnt think mountiung gauges would be this hard, but im kinda stuck tbh. i'm about to just say f it and throw them in the glove box and only look at them when i need to.

does anyone have any other slick mounting/location ideas to help me get some boost/afr readings in the car
