I'm tryin to decide where to mount my gauges and I'm not really a fan of the whole A-pillar placement. Let me see your setups.

S13 or S14 don't care.

ive got my safcII (worthless) under the radio in a plate of 6061 aluminum my dad machined for me at work. NASA for the win! ive also got my oil press. gauge where the ashtray was in my center console. i just cut a piece of wood to fit and bored a hole in it for the gauge. wouldnt reccomend it though, as you have to completely take your eyes off the road to ch-ch-check it.

NOS. Jk

My car is sadly an automatic and I had to relocate my overdrive button when I changed the shift knob. I just finished switching my gauges around today. They are now on top of the radio instead of below. As far as the Carbon Fiber plate, I got it at Phase 2 motortrend.

Is that the carbon bezel off of eBay?

Edit: Nevermind, you got it at phase2.

I think its just any ol' single gauge pod. I however dislike the fact that there is now a Full S13 Pillar. You have to drill into them, just generally speeking, but its kinda tacky and would look so much better full.
