I have seen someone before who relocated their emergency flasher button and put two or three down there. It came out very clean.

ok ok I'm glad someone brought back from the dead.

I found Three key locations where I may install my gauges.

1. primary (flip up consel) infront of clock. (2 should fit perfectly there)

2. secondary (flip down sunglass holder) might be a good spot for one gauge or maybe even EVAC sys

3. Bonus (cup holder spot) I can fit boost controller there an probably something else. Lets see how things work out as planned.

I got a better idea, go to dynotune nitrous website, and buy their small square digital gauges, they are key sized. You could hide them practically anywhere...

Funny you mention it John. We just finished up a car for a customer and this is where we put his gauges. The gaugea are there when the lid is up and when you want them consealed or out of the way just close it.

In the pics it looks like you can't see/read them too well, but they worked out great and very easy to read.

For people with the navigation system you can get the HKS Navigator and have the screen display the gauges, saw one at GTM which was neat as with a flick of a toogle switch it reverts back to the map, now that is what I call a sleeper.
