where to put my boost gauge?

I am looking for a unique place to put a boost gauge cluster, and other gauges (i don't know what to get). I recently saw a picture online of a holder i found interesting ( attached ).
Also, where did you mount yours? or is there somewhere you would have liked to, I am going for kind of a unique location, just so its not on the window, or covering my speedometer..

i personally relocated my cd player to the lower cubby and bought a new gruppe-s hvac bezel with 52mm gauge slots. it looks better and u can actually SEE the gauges to monitor them as appose to putting them down there where u have to look down while driving which is a NO NO. altho its not unique its functional.

I mounted mine on the steering column. No issues with seeing your gauge cluster if you do it right.

My gauges are where my factory radio sits. I relocated my radio to the empty cubby.

i think it looks the best.

It's not always about being unique, its about being able to safely monitor important info without completely taking your eyes off the road... Boost is deff one of them

I bought a used wrx boost gauge holder and mounted it to the steering column. I run a 45mm omni boost gauge. Fits great and is small so it does not block any of the cluster.
