Thats llike me and my old Camaro. 3 on the a pillar 2 below the steering wheel. They never got in the way, though the 5 inch cowl hood did.

To be completely honest with you, the only thing that worries me is that my gauges don't have an audible alarm. I wouldn't mind putting them in the glove box for a completely stock looking interior. If I need to keep an eye on them, its simply a matter of leaving the console open.

EDIT: they apparently do have audible alarm, case closed.

That's true about having them on the A pillar and blocking the view. In this car visibility is already somewhat of an issue. I like the shot of the gauge on the left side of the dash. Nice idea, but how much work will that require to get a nice clean install?

^ actually very little because the gauges come with metallic flexible mounting bases that use 3m tape. You can adjust the swivel to sit perfectly flat towards the driver. That was the least intrusive setup which actually requires very little time to check the gauge and get your eyes back on the road.

I did HKS Camp 2 and put a LCD screen in the cubby.
I believe RCZ did a boost gauge on the left of the tachometer and two more pods around the passenger storage bin.
