i have had a ton of problems finding a place to put guages on my car. no one seems to be able to get any piller pods so if anyone could give me ideas or pictures let me know? Thanks.
There are a couple places you can put guages, in the tweeder covers on each side of the dash, or ive seen guages in the dash onth passenger side facing the passenger

the dashboard, mounted towards you... that loooks kewl, you can put gauges on top of the steering wheel, i have a dual gauge pillar pod, and i think it looks sweet there...
Wassup Shadowzz love your car, i remember when i first registered at hondaprelude.com your car stood out the most, looks sick dude...
you actually inspired me believe it or not

Didn't you haveto remove your passenger cooling vent to do this? Prelude god did the same thing.
I have mine mounted in my ash tray. You can fit two gauges side by side very nice there. used plexiglass and painted it black to match the interior
im only looking to mount one guage at the moment and i was ganna buy a dual pillar pod when i have more done, hopefully turbo. i just want to mount an air/fuel ratio gauge at the moment. i though about the ashtrey and i know someone that can do one with bondo that matches the interior perfect,i know it sounds ghetto but u sould see his work, but i dont want to make him do all that work for that one little guage.
...in my driver side door, where the A/C Vent used to be, fits perfect!! i just havta get the wiring done... but i think it looks DOPE!!
i'll have a Pic as soon as i get my digital camera...
it was kinda tricky but if anyone wants to know ask.

i will look into those ideas though. thanks.
The bondo seems like too much work. Heres a pic of mine when I only had the Air/fuel gauge. All I did was cut the plexi the same size as my ashtray and it fit in there nice and snug. It doesn't even budge. Running the wires was easy to cuz I already had power and ground running to my foggy switch. It took me an hour and a half to cuut and install. I used my dremel as the only tool to cut and then sand the plexi to size. I only painted the back of the plexi so the paint wouldn't scratch. Sorry my shifter is in the way. But you get the idea.
Best thing is this is not perminent, you can take it out in 20 mins and make everything back to stock. The plexi cost me $3 bucks, and I had flat black spray paint
