Default Adding more gauges, can't find room.

Here is the situation, I already have a 3 pillar pod thats full. All air ride related. If I decide that I wish to further my car's performance I am going to need a spot for at least 2 more gauges. I do not have a Pontiac so I can't really fit them all nice and neat in my vents. Any suggestions where I can mount another 2 gauges?

panel in front on the shifter, I stuck 2 dynotune guages and six switches there, just gauges you could probably get 6 digital ones or two 2 1/16" round ones...assuming you don't have tcs, if you do you can fit one 2 1/16" or two digital ones...

Any pictures of this? I'm just a little confused by the locations, probably because I'm a little drunk at the moment but pictures would be great.

I put my Cobalt Nitrous gague in the place they are talking about using an Camaro Convertible Switch Panel (got the switch also and use it as a bottle opener):



Just cut a 2 1/16" hole in the panel with a hole saw
