? on mounting gauges

A pillar gauge pods don't look ghetto but I can see not liking them. If my car didn't already have one I wouldn't get one because sometimes I gotta sorta look around it when cornering. But if I was going turbo,etc. and absolutely needed gauges, it's about the best placement of gauges you can easily do.
 
I wanted 2 gauges so I decided to loose the ashtray and cig lighter and put them there.

This is a in progress pic and the centre console is now being trimmed in leather and alcantra.

Actually, it was part of the smoker's package. I didn't order my car new, but I did buy it new. It came with the ashtray, but no cigarette lighter. :shrug: I'm not a smoker, and my car has never been smoked in, so it didn't matter either way. :cool:

Here's their site. It's hard to tell, but those are carbon fiber gauge pods. They're located about 10 min. away from me in Santa Fe Springs.
