Why gauges on the pillar?
Why do folks put their gauges on the pillar when this look is so clean? Sorry guys that have this but I just don't get it... I see 'em like that all the time and I think it looks horrible.

I like the look of replacing the stock gauges, on the other hand as others have stated, then you lose the computer display, the amps and the oil pressure. By doing the pillar, you do not lose. The pods that go on the steering cover, cover the stock gauges to some extent. Putting them in the console door area, you lose that area for other things (screen). I just got an extra dash cover for the driver's side, I am investigating how it can be modified to hold at least one gauge (above the a/c vent area) using the stock gauge pod (if I can adapt to fit). Bottom line, we don't have a lot of options.

I can't believe you'd choose form over function especially since you have turbos. I'll take more gauges, not less gauges anyday. Where you going to put additional gauges when you need them? Oh, you'll probably remove the tach and speedo.
