Default Boost & EGT gauge install

I just purchased Boost and EGT gauges for my project. My question is, what kind of locations are you EF guys using. I've tried searching but come up with little. I don't want to go the A-pillar rout . I would like to keep them out of sight from onlookers but want them to be easy for me to see. So no dash stuff. I was thinking of maybe on the column or something like that. If you guys have pics of your install please share.

c'mon guys lets see what you have! I searched and found a 7 page thread but most of it was gauge clusters.

since its summer now, I placed 2 of my gauges where the heater controls would be. Doesn't look bad.

I'm planning on mounting mine in my glove box. I know that it isn't the most ideal location, but i'm not gonna put my car at more risk of getting stolen.

I honestly won't have a problem driving with my glove box open, my passenger may but i won't haha. Half the time i end of leaving it open after changing cd's anyways.

I just started fabbing mine up today. EGT and boost too. I'm putting mine in the center vent right on top of the clock. I'm removing the inner sliders that control the left/right but keeping the front sliders that control the up/down. That way I can close the vent when I leave the car and open it when I want. When I mocked it up earlier today I could see the guage just fine through the vent when it was open.

I have a EG hatchback and also looking to hide everything. I posted something similar to what you are asking and the best set up that I like was the one that you put your radio and climate control cluster at the botton using a JDM Radio console and then put all your guages up where the radio and climate control usually be at. Im telling you It looks superrrrrrrrr clean!!!
