I wish I had a better pic.... But... Mine is instaled on the pillar. I cut a small hole in the trim so the mount would fit. I put some trim around the hole(rectangle hole) and I routed the wires behind the pillar and poked a hole in the firewall to run the green tach lead. all the rest of the wires were hooked into the lights and the fuze pannel on the left side. IMO this is the cleanest and doesnt require drilling into your dash pad.
*Edit* you cant really see the detail but thats the only pic I have till I get home in 2 weeks
