Default Boost and NOS guages

I am having a tough time finding a cool place to mount boost and NOS guages in the V. A piller will not work due to the airbag and the dash is taken up by the factory stuff.Any ideas from those of you who have added guages?
Send pics if poss.

I thought of that but I want my guages together, I also need to find a place for my switches for: NOS activation
NOS heater
Supercooler pump
Purge button
All ideas are welcome,I will no doubt be well into the 11's this year with my NOS finished up soon

Go to www.dynotunenitrous.com

They have gauges that are square that can mount anywhere...

this is what i would do:

You can mount all you switches in the ashtray/misc.tray that hides away next to the 12v plug. When that is done, it depends on what you want. If yuo want to hide you gauges and make them look nice or if you dont care.

I thought a good place was the mounting the gauges was either on top of the main stack, over the radio, but with some carbon fiber housings. OR, you can mount them some where under the dash part or horizontal on the driver side, on the center stack.

OR, on top of the steering column, in front of the main gauges but that might kill you view to the maing gauge. How about that lip infront of the passenger, above the glovebox?

Its hard to do it right in these cars but i wouldn't put it in the pillar even if i could...

good luck!!

I have done it a few times. One screw behind the ashtray and 4 push clips 2 on each side then pull the whole ash tray and dash mask off. Its one peice. It can be disassembled but its easily broken. One of the reasons I get over 200 bucks to do it. I have 2 gage masks.

Some like it, some don't.

Gauges are NEXUS.
