Mounting gauges

I recently bought some gauges from a member and I've been looking at different ways to mount them (pillar, steering wheel, pod, etc). Since i dont have anything to mount them yet, I'm wondering how other members have mounted their gauges and how do you like it being mounted there? Any advice is welcomed. Thanks.

haha yeah i was leaning more towards that, i also saw this link and it made me start thinking about a pillar. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gr-vendo...ml#post2666808. he makes some pretty nice pillars. Do you have any preference in a certain brand or clock pod?

I had a dual a-pillar pod made by Jason from your link. It's fkn nice and fits perfect since it's made from an oem pillar. Really good stuff. Not too sure if he does pillars for GDs though, might want to check.

ATI makes a good center pod. I believe it comes with adapters that allow you to mount 52 and/or 60mm gauges.

I'd go clock pod over pillar because the 5-0 doesnt need one more very visually aparent reason to think you're a racer...

Remeber, each pillar guage adds 5mph...(on your ticket)

I'd rather stay stealthy and mount them on the steering column

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting a ati pod (i kinda wanted the defi so i could paint it some odd color instead of black but oh wells). I dont like the steering wheel mounts because i probably would hit it while driving, and when im doing some "spirited" driving i never look there anyways. I also like the fact that you can use the clock wiring to power your gauges which makes things pretty easy.
