I don't think they look right in that position mate, just an opinion though! What will you do with the vents if you mount them there?

i know exactly what you are saying i thought the same but i just cant bring myself to use a pilla pod, my plan is to set the gauges a bit further back in the pannel then cut the vent fins around the gauge to hold it tight the block the vent off behind the dash

i agree and with the pilar mount hard to say where to put them thou

I think we need custom made pods now for 5/6 guages when required. I notice you have the shitty standard radio in there still. One way would be to rip that out, replace with a single din unit leaving 1 din (half the height of ya stereo) to fit some guages into but like you say thats ya only other option really. I think you need a Nissan GTR so you can have a computer tft screen showing all sorts of funky stuff that you can flick through - i want the wife to get one so i can play with the tft whilst she potters about lol

I have 5 defis fitted 3 in a pod and 2 on the pillar,it did take me a while to get used to the ones in the pillar as they felt really close to my face but you do get used to it after a while,you've made a good job on your gauges and I like them.

Does the extra weight slow it down at all?

Like you said Rob, still to be finished but i think a suitable plate/cover to hide the vents and it would look the berries.
