Default Where did you mount your turbo associated guages? Pics?

I need suggestions on where to cleanly mount my guages. I will be running these guages.

60mm Greddy EGT Warning Guage
60mm Greddy Fuel Pressure Warning Guage
52mm Autometer Boost
52mm Autometer Air/Fuel

Anyone have pics of theirs mounted?

I have a 97 civic, and I am thinking 2 on my pillar, and perhaps getting an aftermarket deck where the CD unit is now, and custom making a guage holder for the 2 Greddy guages where the stock headunit is now. I don't really like the autometer guage bezel, plus the greddy guages are too big for the pillar.

I am getting them both the greddy guages in silver with the orange back lighting so it should look good with my Si cluster.

The AF meter will be getting moved to a different spot since I only use it for tuning.

Hey you guys with all those greddy guages...how much did you invest in your setup. Greddy guages are not cheap by any means. Just wondering what a nice setup like that would run me.

hmmm...Im starting to think maybe I should just get Greddy gauges...they look so much nicer then "Auto"-meter gauges. A nice Boost/Vaccum, EGT, A/F gauge combo should work nicely.

Great replys!! This below is how I was thinking about mounting my guages. It looks really nice. I only want two or three in the console though.
