they look really nice, too bad there isnt a way to hide the brackets you know, like maybe a clip on piece, either way looks nice!

Is that held on just by double sided tape? Looks clean and functional.

Nice. Is it a sleeve or is the rear of the gauge exposed?

+1 I like how you routed the wires. Loomed, short route, and rubber grommet into the a-pillar. Very clean!!

I though about maybe fiberglassing the base in, but then again I'm just lazy and probably won't do that.

It's a sleeve so the back is exposed...drifter style

I got them from Prosport Gauges, but they are $10 a piece now.

you can put this on the a piller to try to hide the brackets with the vinyl like this.Im pretty sure you can cut it up and make it look real good.

looks clean, any way you could cut a square in the pillar so that the big part of the mount is on the inside of the pillar?

They sell those same pods with ALOT smaller bases. I'm using one for my wideband.

Why dont you just remove the "foot"bracket entirely and bolt straight through the a pillar trim , decent sized washer on the back to increase surface load bearing area (not that there is any real weight in the gauges) the bracket serves no useful purpose at all, you have already holed the trim for the wires.
With it bolted in place it would improve vision, look less thrown in to place, and you would still have the ability to rotate the entire gauge as well as the current pivot option.
