Default Sleeper gauge locations

Can someone link or post some pics of gauges in the not-so-obvious locations. I have an Autometer Bezel for boost and a/f, but in the future i'd like to add 2 or 3 more for other functions. I don't want to have an A-pillar, but how about under the radio or in the glove compartment? anyone have these?

If you have an empty DIN panel, you can fit 3 gauges there...
BLITZ makes a 3x43mm DIN panel
Omori makes 3x45mm and 3x52mm DIN panels:

Ah, I like that look of that, right with the radio and other accesory controls. Does anyone have a glove compartment setup? I was thinking of putting a Profec-B in there....

Try this... http://www.carbontrix.com

I thought about mounting 3 guages down where the cigarette lighter would be, and have them angleing up in one pod.

in my glove compartment i have: profec b boost controller, fuel pressure gauge, volt gauge, and oil pressure gauge. to the left of the steering wheel(93 civic hatch) theres a place for the sunroof controls for an si(i think). its bare in the dx, cx, vx......so thats where the water temp gauge is. i used to keep the egt there, but i don't need an egt right now. boost gauge is mounted just behind the steering wheel, in front of the stock speedo/tach cluster. nothing is seen from sitting in a car next to me. last year, i used the stock honda tach. unless you are very serious about dragracing/autox, an aftermarket tach is just overkill/rice. ESPECIALLY if its on your dash.

Doesn't that A/F gauge get annoying, especially at night? I have on my autometer bezel, and it gets to me since it's constantly blipping back and forth. I can't imagine how it is at eye-level.

Matzur> how is that A/f gauge anchored in that location?

The gauges are secured via Autometer hardware that came with the gauge. It's just two locking nuts. Super stable and it's smack dab in the middle.

Sorry i dont have any better pics of the guages, but, it does its job well! It is held together by the autometer brace from the back and mounted on a piece of black board that they use for speaker boxes!! so basically its just a piece of black wood ...im gonna cut more into it to mount my TT and Boost controller.

done myself...i made a template out of cardboard to measure correct dimensions for the faceplate and to see where and how i would place the components....then i used 1/4" plexiglass for the faceplate and support brackets for the components, vinyl/leather to cover it, superglue for the brackets, and hot glue for the vinyl

That's gorgeous....thanks for those specs! I'm thinking a future project for myself will be similar.
