I have seen gauges there in that location before. Some people even cut out the cigarette lighter and install 2 gauges in that location with the assistance of an added custom plate to house the gauges. All you need is a piece of ABS and a dremmel and you can make one yourself

You'll find multiple plates for mounting where you are talking about and lots of other, non a-pillar, options

Default My $0.02...

I took out my lighter (non-smoker here), used a dremmel tool and opened up the stock hole till I could fit my 2" boost gauge there; I also used the console's dimmable power lead (for the lamp) to make my aftermarket gauge dim, just like the stock units in the I/P.

Only took about an hour start to finish.
