I did think of putting them there pallbag but the seeing them looked to be a bit hard.

What about on the A pillar??

Dunno how much the cops will like it; extending the blind spots of the vehicle...

Steve, take out the console and hang em from the vents, that looks awesome!

Under the A9X scoop....?

Under the scoop looks pretty sweeet. Or I've seen a bracket made up that goes into where the ashtray is, with 4 guages mounted on it. I'll look for pics.

Heath i know what you mean the cops might not like it to much. I don't want to take the console out as i like it and with it being Auto now it would look better with it. I did think of putting under the scoop but the windscreen wiper blocks the vision to see the gauges.

RIM i have an SS ashtray and like the clean look of the dash all the way across so i don't really want them there.
