I put mine on a pillar mount...I think you can change the bulbs in most to give it the amber color you desire.

i plan on putting mine where the head unit used to be, i think 3 three 2" or 52mm gauges can fit there. you can also mount them in the glove box for stealthyness, would have to custom fab something.
i am just not a big fan of pillar gauge mounts, but would use them if i needed alot of gauges. you could also do dash mount pods as well

I put mine where the head unit is, looks really clean. Fits 3 quite nicely.

i bought one of those cluster pods for my two important gauges (boost and oil pressure) then got some ABS plastic, cut it double din size and cut 3 2/16 holes. wrapped it in CF. It looks good but I decided to not go turbo so I have to find something to fill that up

I dont think thats to ricy, at least its not a big 5 inch tach with a shift light. i personaly like your set up.
