Need Ideas Please

Ok I want to put an oil pressure gauge in my car but I am drawing a blank on where to put it. I'm not really a big fan on the a- pillar gauge pods that are out there, I just think they look kinda gaudy. I want it to be a clean looking install, like it's suppeosed to be there ya know what I mean? (in case it matters, it's gonna be an electric o/p gauge since I don't like the idea of hot oil running through the interior of my car.)

Any Ideas would be apprecieated thank you in advance.

i dont know how good you are with glassing, but i think a nicely molded piece in the center console (under the hvac) would be alright...

I've thought about that,right now it seems like the best option but I use that little cubby a lot and I don't really want to lose it.

I understand not wanting to lose the cubby, but i mean, you could buy the gauges at wal-mart in a triple pod that would fit there nicely, a friend did something similar to his ranger. It looks sharp, But they backlight red, so you'
d have to change it or theme your car to that.

Maybe in the part of the door that covers the bolds or screws to the mirror.

you mean where the tweeter is?

If you have tweeters yeah. That little triangle on the A pillar.

hmmmm I'll have to look into that...I kinda like that Idea. Would I lose much if I took out that tweeter?

Or just find a spot else ware for it.

Find one of those single cup pods and put the gauge in that. Then remove the bolt on the side of the console and get a longer one and mount it there.

That's where I put my tranny gauge, but I think I'm getting rid of the tranny gauge and getting an air gauge for the horn. I never hooked it up
