    Has anybody here used one of these from Good-Win Racing?

    I never liked A-pillar mounts, but you just don't have a lot of options in these cars. In my last car, I replaced two of the eyeball vents, but on hot days, I missed the airflow.

    I've got a two gauge A-pillar mount in my supercharged '97. I really don't see any problem with them. They don't affect my sight line or impede getting in and out of the car.

    You can get two and three gauge mounts that replace a DIN slot above or below the radio if you prefer that. I think that the A-pillar mount is much easier to see than looking down, but neither is all that bad.

    Here's how I did it in may last car:

    Photobucket

    Water Temp on the left, Oil Pressure on the right, Low Oil Pressure LED on the top of the column, and the Shift Light on the top center of the dash. As it was, they were too spread out to see what I needed with a quick glance, so I'd like to consolidate them in one area. The panel below the radio would be easy to install, but even harder to see. Plus, I tend to use that little storage area anyway.
