Put them in the vents silly...duh haha but if you still have AC idk where youd put them, because you could also put it where the air controls sit make youself a little panel. Or i guess you could put them on top of the dash like the 370z

Anyone ever fit a universal triple pod on top of the dash? Seems difficult given how sloped the dash is.
I did find this

which looks fine and will circulate enough air, but only 2 gauges. There's also this one but it doesn't look like there would be enough circulation.

I believe one guy has a gauge in his door panel where the factory tweeter was. Iirc it was on a ta though. Never really payed attention to Camaro door panels. But being that low i dont know if I want that. Having to look that far down and all while driving. But just an idea

I've been throwing an idea around for a roof console to house some switches, & gauges. The sunvisors would need to be deleted if not already. if i had a spare headliner i would glass one up to try it out.

This is a good idea and I've considered it too, still have not seen pictures of anyone try it. Guess I'd need to always have sunglasses with me :p

I think T-top cars look better without sunvisors so that fuels me a little more to want to do something like that. if i could find a way to mount something over the factory headliner without damaging it i would go for a roof console. as i see it it would be pillar to pillar and and windshield to t-tops, it needs to look somewhat factory.

People give me grief for where I mounted my gauges, but I don't care, I like it. I bought autometer gauge pods and had to notch the pod mounting pads.

I can get a better picture up over the weekend maybe, supposedly going to hit 60, maybe it will melt the foot of snow off my car.![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
I just don't like the whole pillar of pods look.

I am intrigued now for a roof mounted gauge pod. Where did you find the dash pod at? i could use one of those and save a few hours on molding one from foam, plus it looks easy to blend into a full console. Would anyone be interested in seeing a finished roof console?

And yes would like to see a roof mounted console/pod.
