Default XKR Boost gauge placement

Howdy Folks:

I am considering mounting a Weiand - 90520 boost gauge or similar behind the sunglasses door. Have any of you used this area for gauging?

I currently do not think that I would go with an "A" pillar mounting or using an intergrated navigation unit.

All comments appreciated.

The entire thread has some interesting ideas, but see #15 for pics of mounting something in the glasses holder. Should work for a boost gauge or use the reset cluster hole which looks really good.

Very good one from astromorg!

As I also prefer the stock look, I have chosen the place as shown in post #15. Its easy to fit there and I only need to watch it occasionally.

Thanks Folks:
I really like the idea of using the trip switch hole. I do not know if I can make it look as OEM as the post but it surely does give me something to shoot for.
Again, thanks .
