I cut the plastic front off and took the needle/gauge face off the volt gauge, so it's as far back as it can go before I do irreversible damage.

I like the idea of putting it in the drivers vent(mine is broken anyways) so I think I am going to switch it to there

One in the driver side is enough.

I didn't know about the drivers side, but I installed it on that side by luck since the injen exhaust had a perfect bung installed there already. Also, I am going to switch to drivers vent.

Would look better if it fit nicer in the center of that hole. Looks off to me. Good idea though.

I replaced all of mine.

^be careful with the vent pieces themselves. i have my boost gauge there. had to remove a few vent "shades" but the gauge in an autometer cup fits perfectly snug
