Just hide it somewhere, don't leave it open for bling. it will end up getting stolen that way. glovebox,center console, near rear view mirror

Mine is mounted above my steering wheel. Its easy to view but sometimes gets in the way. I am selling mine anyway because I am going to be purchasing a Hondata.

Ideally, it should be somewhere in the shade with at least some ventilation. They run really hot and I've seen a few shut down right in the middle of of aut0-x runs.

Theft, ease of visibility, and tuner usage should also be primary considerations.

Aesthetics is a tertiary consideration. Buy a bear skin rug if you want your car to look good.

I agree, but unfortunately you need to understand that probably 35% (if not more) of V-AFC buyers are more interested in the "bling" and will never use the device for true tuning on a dyno as it should be used (I am not singling-out anyone in this thread or elsewhere). I think that's the reason you don't see more threads about locations for a Field SFC-VTEC - it's "bling-level" is too low.
