Where to mount gauges

Like the title says. I need y'alls help. I've been sitting in the car and everything trying to get some ideas. I've got to figure out where to mount 2 more gauges. I've already got a cluster pod with 2 gauges so thats out. Then my GPS is mounted next to my pillar and thats really the only place I have to keep it that the cops wont bitch about. So I really need some help on this one.

If I'm reading right, then a dual pod a pillar would work for you.

Well the dual pod would work if the gauges were at the top instead of at the bottom. I've thought about trying to mold the bracket for the GPS into the A-pillar to make it like the RPD, but I would really like to have the ability to move the GPS from one vehicle to another. I had also thought about swapping the radio from a Double DIN to a single DIN mounting it on the bottom and then mounting the gauges above that angled toward the driver.

But in Texas, its supposed to be illegal to have things mounted on the windshield. Plus, mine isnt exactly small. Most other places I mount it, kind of get in the way. Unless I could mount it to the lower dash somewhere, but I would think the gauges on the dash would look cleaner.

I forgot about that mount. There is that single din + 3 gauge radio dash kit.

Do you happen to know which vendor sells it, or anything that can get me started in the right direction?
