Default Auto Meter Cups..

Gotta question for you guys.. If you had 3 of these or any other pod to mount, where would you mount them?

The Gauge cup is a Auto Meter CF cup witch is 2" 1/16th As seen on the H&R tC..

It's a guage pod.

I'd go with the a-pillar ... probably look the best there. Otherwist it might look cluttered

Rsx_freak79, breathe...in...and out again, it's all going to be okay. No need to get worked up over an emoticon, there's more to life.

Over the A pillar if you've got to have them, but I'm kinda with Miko with the plastic bag idea.

i was cool it's just that that pic doesn't give it any justice. if you woulda put that the image is just huge and the real thing is only 2 inches in diameter i woulda known. just curious tho, what is going to be the use of 3 of those on your ride?

I prefer guages to be installed in the dash as several people have done.

I believe I am going to go the same route and mount them on the top of the A/C vents.

But if you mount them there they will be right in your line of sight. I think it would probably get annoying having them there.

I personally wouldn't mount the gages in a gage cup like that. I would go with a Gage pod on the pillar.

Something like this....



or somehow mount them in the dash somewhere.
