There was someone on here that asked if there was another place to mount gauges other than the pillars or just stick it on the dash so here is where I put them
The pod is 3.5 (the 4th ring was sanded down) rings of 3/4" MDF glued together and wrapped in black suede. The glowshift gauges are hot glued in (stuff sticks great to MDF) and there are two 1/2" MDF angled pieces to angle the gauges up. They can still be read while driving. The pod is in the space at the front of the console. I have to pull it out a couple inches and angle it down to slide it in.
I'm not sure how to post images so here are the links to the photos

Not bad, but that is a horrible location for gauges. You have to take your eyes completely off the road to look at them and also cannot see anything out of your peripheral vision. I had my airride control there for a month and hated it.

180hp in 1989 or 260hp in 2008, you decide. Quad < Ecotec
That's where my gauges are installed. Nice work.

Agreed too far down except for maybe secondary, non vital gauges.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

That's what they are for me just to make sure everything is working good from time to time not to constantly stare at
