Default how do you display your gauges

I just picked up some 52mm gauges, just wondering what methods people use to display them. I don't really want to put them on the pillar but if I have to I will.

I dislike A-pillar pods as well.
I have gauges mounted in the audio console I replace awhile back. Everything is nice and out of sight....of Police, ricers, etc. It draws much less attention, but the gauges are not at the best placement for safe/quick readings.
A-pillar pods are better in that respect.

Mine are on the A-Pillar....if I wanted stealth I could do stealth but since I am also gettign the TurboXS Type-H RFL BOV ...I don't think I want stealth ....it all dpends on how much time you want to spend to install them....Between me and my friends (I used to work at a Car AUdio Install bay) we could do some sweet custom stuff but I didn't have time to do it.....

I lke the A pillar pods. Comes in handy. I'm actually going to mount 2 of my gauges on my dash. Over where I live, this isn't all that big of a thing. That and I don't really go out all that much and park my car in a garage.

this is how i had mine in the 98 climate controls, now since i got jacked, and they destroyed that console i went with a 2000 climate controls, still waiting on some replacement gauges, so no pics yet, but just think of the same idea with no stereo on a 2000 civic

I heard that the bezel sometimes doesn't fit, but in the future I might get one for oil pressure and water temp... I already have greddy egt, boost, and a/f mounted on the pillar for quick readings...... although I ADORE 60mm greddy peak/hold warning gauges... they are soo much better :D

Most people I know don't use there dash dimmer switch....they just leave it to the max (or if nothing is occuping the hole to the left use that hole). But... you can remove your dimmer (lower right) and put it aside if you need to go back to fatory or leave it hooked up and zip tie it under the dash somewhere. Put your fuel pressure gauge in the hole.........

i saw this guy on here had his gauges right below were these are in the dimmer location and the other side, it looked real trick,almost like it came like that from the factory.

From the looks of these pics I see that Apex i gauges read in psi, and the Greddy gauges read in bar. Any one better then the other?
