Gauges - How is everyone setup

For those who do not use thier stock gauges, and probably don't even have them, lol. How do you all have yours setup.

Pictures, suggestions?

The first one posted is Sean's old Fastech car. See how similar the guage bezel is to Tom's setup (that Sean built)?

Here's mine w/ some of the gauges in place.

I like Tom's setup and how he put the aluminum closer to the driver. I may try that out since I have an almost unlimited supply of 1/8" aluminum plate.

Working on either fixing it or a heart attack. Looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

Whenever I buy the guages I'm going to mount a tach and few guages where the old guages went and a few more in the A/C vents and radio area. I just drew a template onto a piece of carbon fiber which should work well.
