Since I only have the 1 gauge, I decided to do some investigation.
In my last car I *hid* a gauge in the circle vent. It was great, still had air flow and I was able to close the vent to hide it when appropriate.
So I did some investigation on the Z, and although it would fit and mount nicely, you would lose the ability to hide it or redirection the air. The turny air redirector piece at the end of the vent is made so it screws into the bottom of the cup shaped holder. On my last car and I believe the mazda 3 it is a different design where it snaps into the top so it didn't have an issue like this. If I get some time and they have a mazda 3 or something else with circle vents at the junk yard i'll get a few and see if I can't rig something up. Dont hold your breathe though! Pix included.
