Installing gauges in XA

Has anyone tried to install gauges in the a/c vents on either side of the radio in a XA? I know you can get a pod that fits over the steering column but I was looking for something different.

thx

Never heard anybody on Scion life doing it or seen it done at the many Scion carshows I entered in the past.

You can be the first

and show us pics.

Good Luck...

Just bought a couple used A/C vents on Ebay to practice on to see if I can get a good fit and if I want to try and make the vents functional with the guages in them.
