Default Mounting gauges in a T/A

I want to mount gauges in my 00 ws6, but do not like the a-pillar mounts and do not want to fill my vents up. is there like a piece I can mount on my dash that will hold gauges. any recomendations on where to mount gauges??

Actuall no, my tach does not work, but even if it did i would like to add 3-4 gauges not in the vents and not on the a-pillar.

I have a suggestion, most might not like but heck, its what i'm doing. Its a 3 or 2 gauge pod holder, similar to the ones you can mount in a mustang, heres a few examples(not trying to advertise other sites so dont delete plz):

I was going to pick up the first one, and mount it over the center vents, and use autometer spacers to angle the gauges so it'd be normal view instead of a bit slanted down. I havnt done much with it, but thats my plans at least. Hopefully this has helped a bit.

take out your radio and put them there or get one of those old school triple pods that hang under your dash

If he wants AC/Heat why would he not want tunes when hes cruising as well?
