Default creative gauge placement

Need to mount A/F and boost in my '01 reg cab silverado, anybody do something creative? I'd like something a little more stealth than the A-pillar. Any pics? Thanks.

If you're 2wd you could mount it where the 4wd buttons would go.

Im making a space for mine to fit in the empty lower slot of my Escalade center console.



Sprayed a small piece of plexiglass with a light coat of VHT.






Old junk boost gauge, the gauge will shine better once hooked up, thats just a flashlight sending light through the rear hole, no bulb attached.

I made a plate up not long back, stuck them in there. Before that I use the aux lighter hole for my FPR gauge.

Yea I noticed I get a little more attention with my gauges being visible. I plan to get tinted windows in the future so that should help a little.
