Default Places to mount gauges?

This might not belong in the FI forum, but just about anyone running some sort of FI should have gauges so I figured I would put it here.

Anyway, where are you guys mounting your gauges? Looking around the car it doesn't seem like there are too many places to put them. I bought an A-Pillar gauge pod for 2 52mm gauges but I don't really like it and won't be using it. I think it looks too busy.

Where else are you guys putting your gauges? Pics would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Here's my old layout from when I was supercharged. I don't think it looks too busy when all of the gauges are black and match the interior.

I just have boost and AF in an A-pillar pod. I think the way to go if you have the AEM EMS is get two of their serial gauges, use one for boost and the other one can be multi-purpose.
