eight gauges installed, where did you put yours

I have a total of eight gauges. I have a 3 pod piller, 2 behind the drivers wheel, I need to put three more. last of the three is my greddy e01 square display. I really don't want to put my gauges where my stereo is at because I have one of those pioneer nav units. it wont make sense to lower that to the bottom cubby hole. has anbody put any gauges on top of the dash. did you guys drill into the dash or use double sided tape. thanks for the input

Can you tell me what each gauge does? maybe we can cut out the ones that are useless

on the piller EGT, oil temp, water temp, behind steering, a/f ratio gauge, and boost gauge. the last three are fuel pressure, oil pressure, and lastly my square e01 display controller. I need to know where to put the last three but I don't want to tap into the dash to mount the last three. any suggestion would be great. Pictures would even be better

That's what im saying. Im sure you're gonna have to do some custom work to fit all those gauges. I mean - I dont see the point of all those gauges - but each to their own

i have the pioneer avic nav unit in the bottem it works u need to do this though... the pieces that screw to the side of the unit u have to cut them in half so that theres only 2 screw holes on each and the part that bolts to the actuall car is still intact then u put them on backwards and it will push yur avic out further and a 1 din trim ring will hide the difference with it sticking out more and then it can tilt back far enough for u to view it

I know it may be a little overkill but it will warn me if something goes out of the norm. I have the apex EL system so they all are daisy chain and controlled by one box. I wish a vendor would make a holder that would fit on top of the dash that would make it look stock, not a add on. anybody have as many gauges I am sporting. Post more pics thanks.
