Where to put gauges

Well about to start adding gauges to my lnf. Wondering where the best spot to put the gauges would be. I know a dual bezel is a good idea but i cant find any besides the ones on buy hids. I was thinking of getting rid of the rpd and just installing a 3 gauge pillar and either selling the rpd or keeping it until i want to sell the car or something. Also i was thinkin of putting the rpd somewhere else and installing a 3 gauge pod but im not to sure where to put the rpd. Any input would be great

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. There was a bit of a snafu by ZZP on this one, concerning a member on this site. They didn't handle it very well.

Would the cluster mount dual guage pod hold dual interceptors? If so I think thats what I'll do. If not 3 pillar with dual interceptors.

took about a week with 3-4hr each day forming and finishing and about two weeks to sand all the trim molds from driver door handles, across the dash, to pass. door handles, and then lay a base dark silver and airbrush over that.
