I also hate pillar mounted guages. It just screams out "Please race me" or "Hi Mr. Officer, I like speeding"

The only one I've seen so far that I've actually thought looks cool is the Mugen/M-Tec one:


Seeing as how it's made by Mugen, one can only imagine how many thousands of dollars they're going to charge for it.

Rick's sells a gauge set for the radio door - http://www.ricks2k.com/products/gaugeset.php

Maybe buy or do something similar on your own.

I put mine in the radio door. I did it myself so it is not quite as pretty as Rick's from the back side, but looks good from the front. It took some time and trial and error, but they work now.

Did you also use digital gauges like the Ricks set?

I also used the radio door. Had to ditch the radio, but I have no need for it anyway.

Ricks door is too expensive for my taste. Nice setup but just too much money, also visibility is an issue with this setup. Maybe if the gauges recorded. But i dont want to keep lookin down while im driving

personally tempted to ditch the radio and use a laptop for music/engine management since all my speakers are amped anyway i dont need the stock harness for tunes

thats what im thinking, ditch the radio and put gauges there. well i have AEM UEGO and AEM Datastream, so i really dont want to take it apart and put the display on the radio door.

thanks guys... anymore ideas?

i don't have the picture anymore but i made a custom mount on the left side of the dash. i had to take out my stock remote radio controls, and the left upper vent, but it came out really nice. i mounted three gauges there with a piece of plexiglass and some bondo and paint.
