I am planing to get in dash gauges installed instead of the pillar so its more stock looking and it would not be that visible that "I'm packing" :)

I will have AEM A/F and Autometer Cobalt Boost gauges. Are these going to fit and my MAIN concern is are these things going to be visible (im 6'5" LOL or the steering wheel is going to be in the way? Are there any other benefits of having them in the pillar. Thanks guys

I went from the 3 gauge pillar pod to a console/dash setup. The dash ones are clearly visible (granted they are 60mm so I had to trim the bezel some). Hopefully the pics help. If you need more let me know!

Thanks, that looks good.
The gauges arw 52mm as well as dash kit but im not sure it looks right looking at your dash, my baby is at the mechanic :( , The pic that i attached says its exect part i would be getting
 
damn dude, do you fit comfortably in your dsm? haha.. I personally like having my boost gauge on a pillar pod so that i can peek at it through the corner of my eye as i'm doing a pull. It allows me to stay focused on the road ahead, just in case. However having a cluster pod does make the car more stealthy when seen from the outside.
 
Around here the gauges on the pillar are a cop magnet and it will also attract every Honda around. I have the dash bezel pods its definitely more stock / stealthy looking and I haven't have any visibility problems with them.
 
I didn't do it for stealth, I did it because I like driving in the mountains and turning left, a 3 pod pillar blocked my sight badly; I don't think my seat was in a driving position when I took that pic, YEARS ago. Also I used the factory vent so it looked more OEM than some cheap ass piece of sheet metal like the ones some vendors sell. (I know it's thicker than sheet metal but it's still thin and looks like shit IMO due to it being flat vs curved) I like doing mods that look like a manufacture did them, as if the car came that way vs, purely functional or "hey look at me".
 
Pillar gauges are what i have been using and it works great. An In Dash works and it looks more like a sleeper, but it holds less gauges. Both are excellent choices
