    Default Gauge Mounting Ideas

    I recently got a three gauge pillar and three gauges for super cheap, which I'm hooking up this week. However, I have a volt gauge that I want to mount somewhere and will be looking to purchase a LC-1 wideband in the very near future. I'm also getting a tuner next week that I will be mounting in my center fascia.

    Basically, I was wondering where are the best/cleanest places to mount extra gauges in your vehicle. Strictly opinion, and I'm welcoming any ideas.

    Anddddddd... I was about to post a photo but I'm still a noob. I have a Tiburon, but I am looking for any ideas on any vehicle because who knows what idea I can modify or what might inspire me.

    the pillar is a great place to add gauge, since your problem is that the pillar is full... i got myself the boost gauge on the steering column... some folks here bring the idea to mount the gauge into the vent hole. otherwise, near the cluster is a good place too... just my opinion

    Look up Tiburon Tuscani. The center stack from OEM has a spot for three gauges.

    Actually, the gauge does not go in the vent, there is a hollow space between the vent duct and the dash surface to let the gauge in.

    Yeahhh, I've seen that in some friend's Tiburons, but It's just too 'out there' for me. It's a little obstructive in our cars and not saying it's tacky, but it's not as clean as I might want.

    Yeahh those gauges are a lot smaller than general aftermarket one's though. It's unfortunate, I like that look from the 05-06's

    Keep it comin' guys. I know you have to have some more ideas

    Haha. Get a pillar pod for your passenger side A pillar. Could look into dash top pod for just above your vents.
