Can you elaborate a little more. What are the red caps you speak of? Do you have any pics?

I personally HATE three pod pillars... the third is SO high and close to your head/face...

I voted for OTHER... here's my suggestion:

2 on the pillar and one here (like mine):

I also have ONE in the pillar:

To be honest... I don't like dual pod pillars either so if you HAVE to have three I would put ONE on the a-pillar and then do two like this:

It's owned by blaSSt if you want to do a search for the how...

I like the idea of using the autometer mustang style dual gauge pod that replaces the clock on those cars and trimming the bottom edge to fit your dash. Install it just in front of the defroster vent and run the cables right into that to hide them. I've seen a couple of posts on here with them and they look good. I'd run your fuel pressure and wideband up there and stick the boost down in the center a/c vent.

That's why I put the nitrous there, no one else can see it and I am only looking at it when I open the bottle (which is the switch right next to it)

this sounds like the best idea. Your not going to be staring at your o2 gauage all day, you want to keep an really close eye on the boost and fuel pressure.

but I had my gauges in the 3 vents. It looks BA too

i'd do a double gauge pod...then one in the far left, center AC...just because 3 on the pillar is alot and i like the ac vents too...they don't all need to be together unless you want them to...
