Gauge Locations Evo X ???
That is the prototype X dash. It's actually a lap time guage
.
.curtain airbags deploy damn near straight down. They don't come at you and somehow magically blow your A-pillar back into your face. I've seen plenty of curtain airbags and all they do is shear open the pillar/roof cladding like a hatch. Imagine the glass on an jeep cherokee, you lift it up. Same deal, the pillar flips up and the curtain airbags deploy down. They arent there to stop you from moving forward or anything, theyre there to keep you from busting your head on the side-windows and what not. So mounting them on your a-pillar isnt going to be a bad deal. Its not going to blow that plastic panel back in your face, if anything itll blow it into the windshield long before itll come towards the driver. Think about it, the curtain goes down and unfolds forward, towards the windshield. Not backwards, in your face.
Also...found this interesting. Its on Yahoo under the slideshow for the 08 Evo. Note the boost (?) gauge on the top dash.

What kind of mount is this? I really only "need" a boost gauge and that seemed like the best place to put it where it wouldn't block anything. Another option was the ashtray but that isn't in plain sight.
