    Check out Bullwinkle's a/f gauge mounting solution... right on the foglight/headlight leveler/IC sprayer/etc blanks next to the coin box. iirc he had a picture up somewhere.

    Otherwise, depending on size, you could go with the subiegal pod that fits by the windshield, or do the a/c vent gauge mount.

    Cup holder/ashtray/glovebox mounts have been done too, but I'd imagine you'd want the afr gauge in a more visible location.

    OR you can also do a single gauge on the A pillar

    Here's a link to my current set up.

    If you're looking for a good single pod, I'd highly recommend the subiegal dash pod. It's in a great location, and should fit any 52mm gauge, and a 60mm with some modding. It's the one up by the a-pillar in my pictures.

    I like both those options (and the ac vent install) better than the a-pillar pods because I always seem to hit my fat head on the a-pillar gauges. Plus the reflection can be annoying and if you have one of those video-gamey (aem-ish) afr gauges, it's a real pain having that thing constantly blinking in your line of site.

    I beat ya'. Yeah, AFR gauges are typically moving all over the place. I wanted mine out of my line of sight by still visible if I needed to check on the numbers.

    I mounted a EGT gauge in a similar fashion on Justin's old WRX.

    thansk everyone...i'm liking bullwinkle's setup...but that means i have to trim my dash rite..?? from the picture, it looked like it. and does anyone else have the db lc-1 wideband..??..this gauge only shows digital numbers and i'm pretty sure it doesn't have that sweeping green-to-red meter...so will this be jumping up-down all that much to distract me if i do want to get a subiegal pod...??
