Default aftermarket gauge location

im sure this isnt the right place for this topic but i dont know where else to ask.

i removed my factory gauge cluster and in its place put in a sheet of carbon fiber with auto meter cf gauges but i didnt have room for an oil pressure gauge and i want to add a nitrous pressure gauge as well.
i would like to see your aftermarket gauge set up.
i dont think i want to add a pillar pod unless someone makes one that is angeled more toward the inside of the car so as not to be so visible from the side or outside. does anyone make a gauge pod that sits well on top of the dash but is low profile?

you could always build a small gauge pod to go in the little cubby hole next to the lighter on the center console?

I saw something like you are looking for. They used mustang dual gauge pod for the dash and modified it and it looks good. I saw it on here, in the appearance section. Maybe try searching mustang gauge pod or dash pod.

You have a flat panel but no more room? Do you have pics of your setup? I've seen some people put gauges in the vents, other than that you are kinda outta luck unless you can make a bracket that mounts it directly to the dash. I understand why you dont want it on the A pillar. A-pillars are kinda ricey. Check out this thread... it might help. You're close to home, Semper Fi!
