Kinda depends what gauges they are imho.

If its important, then maybe one on the steering column (Think they do an aftermarket cover that has a gauge pod moulded in).

If not, then either gauge pods on the dash (Above vents) or A Pillar.

But best of all (and which i'd most likely do) is to mount them in the second din slot, but fibreglass it over. So it looks

You cant put 60 mm in the 2nd din dash. it doesnt fit

If your going to fibreglass it so it looks a proper job like i said, should be fine. Just cut some of the centre console away (I have a spare one )

Flush it all over with fibreglass, and paint or cover in a carbon sheet (Or flocking......that'd look awesome!)

What's flocking??

Where the dash is covered in a material, i.e. alcantara (Not sure exactly what material they use, but it looks like suede/alcanatara). Race cars use it to stop glare etc

I think it costs around £150 to get your dash flocked, im seriously tempted if i can find a spare dash

oh rite i get you now, the thing is, i got an after market hu and a surround, the surround is no where near the same colour as the car dash, so was thinkin of paintin the center console or cover it??
