Custom gauge location

If there is a thread out like this please point me to it, I did search but couldn't gind what I was looking for.
Im looking for people that put there gauges in different places. Not the pillar or the dual bezel buy the speedometer, but somewhere different. Im just looking for something different. Thanks

I've seen some mount them in the cup holders, others on top of the steering column, that's about it I think.

There really isn't many places you can mount them unless you make a custom piece to hold them.

One place I've seen that I like is inside the cubby where the trunk button is. The person that did it did a real good job of it too.

Thats just pointless though, your gauges should be to where you have minimum head turn to see them.
