gauge placement
i have the gauges in the radio slot. I don't really like them there because i have to look down and over to see them, after looking at all the pics thinking the steering column looks the best. though i think the a pillar is the easiest.
here is my humble opinion. I get into this same thing on every forum where people want to hide their gauges.
Put your gauges where you can easily see them. You bought them to monitor your vitals hopefully and not just for looks.
With that being said, would mount them up higher then the stock location. too hard to look down and see IMHO.
also whomever stated put the wideband in the glove compartment because you dont need to look at it. Honestly, i would lean away from that also. A wideband IMO is a must to keep an eye on more then anything. I have seen too many things happen that can change AFR enough to make you think twice about moving it to where you cant see.

Here's mine.
I had this custom made to fit the Greddy and 2 stock gauges. It will be getting wrapped in carbon fiber soon
The gauge on the right sits a lil crooked cause the hole was made big to allow room for the CF and without it the gauge sinks into the hole. Should fit better once it's done.

I like the uniqueness of this one. Be sure to post some pictures when its wrapped
Actually I just got it in and haven't straighten it before taking the pic
that's all I have... plus the 2 stock ones.
my wideband is in the steering wheel column off centered to the left like the guys in post #7
right now I don't see the need for anything else.
if I had an aftermarket turbo i might look into an oil pressure gauge
