Something like this....



or somehow mount them in the dash somewhere.
Unfortuantely this is all we have to work with being autometer does not have a pillar for the tC yet. This is why we are trying to find the members opinions on the best spot to mount these.. So make sure you vote because this will be a how to for you members to follow if needed,,,

I like the pod, I don't know about the pillar pod idea, since there's a airbag there.

Correct there is a airbag on some tC's so a pillar in that case is out of the question. I personally wanna do the gauges in the glove box.. kinda keep it stealth... But thats just me..

yea, for cars with sideairbags, a-pillar pod is out of the question. also for dash mounting the gauges, the tC doesnt have as much openings as an xB so you'd have to get a little more creative.

Yes The Kreative tC mounted their gauges in the ac vents pretty sweet idea but can only do 2 gauges. Then the third is where the ac **** use to be. Im all about stealth and I think in the glove box would be sweet.

Nice Idea until summer or winter or really any time you want heat or a/c. Then why after doing all that custom work would you get a pyle head unit...why? Anyways I would say that above the a/c would be cool and the glove box might be but will it be visible and closeable at the same point... it might not close when its placed at a point you can see so you should just play around with it some.

i dont like the thought of the ac vents being blocked..an idea, since they already took out the waterfall stereo cover, thus moving the dash kit up, giving more space on the bottom, maybe could mount the gauges under the deck since a gauge panel is slightly taller than a single din..i tried it using the stock mounting brackets and it didnt look right at all

Steve of bBist has those!! He mounted them right infront of the driver. The ones closest to the window is the closest and then they slowly move back and lead to the spedo. He has 3 guages like that.

In my opinion I would go with the a- pillar gauge cluster....I mounted 3 gauges on the left of the speedometer ,,,,,,,,I also considered under the steeringweel in that gap the 2'1/16 gauges fit perfectly there......
