Default Any ideas where to mount my oil pressure gauge?

Anyone have suggestions as to the placement of a 2-5/8'' oil pressure gauge? I was thinking of doing something with the glove box. Suggestions or pictures are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

if you put it in the glove box and drive with it closed, it loses its purpose. If you actually glance at it...its way out of your way. id stick it close to your driving view

I heard the new JDM thing is to mount it flush in your rear bumper Just above the Exhaust in the O of your option 2 sticker .... JK

I am guessing this is a Gen5 Civic I saw somebody that mounted it in the "pocket" under the ashtry that way he could fold it closed when the car was parked and pop it open when he wanted it .... He is on this board he posted it about a week ago ... I dont know his name though ...

right now i'm setting up mine in my jdm audio console... i'm using "project boxes" from radioshack. i'm also making a cover plate for the whole thing so when I park the car i can rest 'slightly' easier...

careful if you place anything close to the windows... especially in southern california.

Mount it on the outside of your car, right at the top of the hood like muscle cars use to...
