Much bettter then turning my head down to the ashtray, but its the same visibility as gas level / spedo

I cut a hole in the trim piece then used quicksteel to mold it (just thought of it aftert i finished) lol came outcleaner then i expected

i'd take a pic but mines in the body shop :wtc:
my boost gauge is sitting behind the steering wheel on the collum held in place by a giant zip tie, wahoo. (need to change that)

Yeah above the steering collumn is another good spot sits right between speedo / tach

I really am impressed with the espelir exhuast, so smooth & not to loud. Hope to get some more vids up soon with a friends DV cam, with his WRX

I want to put mine in front of the stock tach, so you can still see the tach needle.
Sort of like this guy, he runs a CA and more gauges than I'm gonna.

Nifty how you can still read them all clearly though, i see what you mean

Thats where the digital S13 guages own. Tach is dead center, and you can mount boost guage dead center with needle still visible. Have yet to see anyone do it, but sure it will pop up somewhere.

Another place for digital HUD owners is right next to the hud (over the vin plate), if you have a HUD you are already used to looking there.

I don't like A pillars, take up vision around corners and advertise your gauges to the underworld.

i dont think they hinder my vision, if they do it is very minimal. I have no problem with people seeing my gauges, alot of slow cars have gauges too so i don't think they would always assume its a boost gauge. Well, with the windows up you cant see in my car anyways :cool:

i was thinking of putting my gauges in that same place BuudWeizErr but i was thinking more of visibility. i dont want to use a pillar since i dont really like the way it looks. i was thinking of putting them in my gauge cluster, but whatever. im still undecided.

then mount them with double sided tape, not like you can't try em a few different ways before you screw em in somewhere.
