I don't like that placement and it's a good thing you have a spare vent/grill

Honestly, if it works for him and he's comfortable viewing it while driving in it's current location.. good for him.

To each his own, but not my cup of tea.

Did you cut some of the vents to make it fit?

Since you have it to spare anyway, why not take out the vent entirely and fiberglass a gauge location there....deleting the A/C hole instead of manhandling it.....would look alot cleaner...

I think it looks great and am not a fan of pillar gauges or column gauges.

A couple more pics. I was only able to get the panel installed and none of the senders because it is only 15 degrees outside today in CO -- too damn cold to actually work in the engine bay
