I've always favored pillar, no matter which car.

I've often thought how cool it would to have all your contained info a HUD projected on the windshield, say like the Pontiac grand prix way back. I guess the next best thing would be to it all on a LCD. Someone on the 3si side was actual doing that, a simple one not needing a datalogger. Of course, with the likes of Evoscan, all of it in a center console LCD is probably best.

But for simple, pillar is the way to go.

This isn't bad, looks good actually. Can't even see the wire, I might do this. I likke the cubby idea too but I don't want to look down to see the reads off my gauges. =

Looks nice and clean but where were the wires run through? I love the fact that it doesnt block anything and it perfect for more gauges if needed.

a small piece of the radio face plate area is shaved off, just enough to allow the wires to come in from the fuse box and firewall.
