Default guage locations?

Im gonna turbo my 94 accord here in the next month or so and i was looking at gauges today and was just wondering if anyone had any cool ideas on where to mount them because i hate the pillar mounted gauge pods and would like to do somthing a little more unique?

Gauge, Spell it three times in a row and you will never mispell it again.

dash mount!! although i wouldn't really recommend it if your car is parked outside, or if it is daily driven... the gauges are an easy target, and would be tempting for thieves to shatter the windows to grab them.. the same can go with pillar mounted gauges.. if you want to keep it low pro, there are those gauge trims that go around the cluster.. those are pretty clean.

I am looking to put an oil pressure gauge in my DC2. With it being one gauge, I have no clue where to put it and it not look out of place or unsightly. I REFUSE to get a pillar gauge pod b/c I think they are rice.

With all that irrelevant blabber being said, I am interested in seeing pics also. Wasnt there a thread about this a while back? Not poking at ccssk8ter11 but I have searched and did not find it...

i searched and couldnt find anything either.
if your doing just one gauge you could mount it like right behind your steering wheel like how they do stock boost gauges on other cars?
