Question monitoring gauge placement help needed

ok guys so a lil help needed, im adding more monitoring gauges, currently i have my boost controler under my mirror buttons, my boost gauge to the left of the steering wheel and its a biotch to see and my wide band in the glove compartment, i am about to purchase a oil pressure, oil temp, and fuel pressure gauge but i have no clue where i can put them, i wanted to do on the pillar but cuz the airbag it wont work unless someone knows away around it... also the other thing i looked into was loosin the stock head unit and gettin a single din and putting 3 of the guages there but i dont know how itll work, so any help where to put them would greatly be appreciated... and i am not putting them on the top of my dash cuz thats tacky...

Unfortunately my plan is to go on top of the dash...but as you say...that's tacky. Anyone come up with anything else yet? I saw the PTuning thread but it just freaks me out having gauges look at me like bug eyes when I'm driving.

Did you pick up the Mustang pod yet? They look good but I'm not sure how close the fit would be.
