Originally, I had them here:

Then moved them to here:

And they're currently as so:

View isn't all that bad. I can see all dash lights and gauges with the exception of the speedo 85-140 in which case my eyes are on the road.

Correct. Each Defi gauge comes with it's own singular mounting pod.

Very clean, I will have to buy them. My pvc gauge pod is a temporary placement but looks like I will be making the Defi permanent :)

The best part about the Defi setup is that you only run one small wire from the controller to the 1st gauge, then each additional gauge piggybacks off the previous gauge. It really makes for a clean install.

Wow that is really clean, but with that cleanliness comes a big price tag lol

looks great guys. Monjarassi i saw your DIY on boostedk20. Nice work man. I've been thinking of relocating the temp controls under the dash and putting all three in those locations.
