I mounted mine where my heater/ac controls were. I know alot of people still have the heater/ac so thats not an option. Heres a pic of mine.



Some people have made a plate and mounted them in the vent to the right of my tach.

Or you can pull your gauge cluster out, make your own plate and mount them in there.

Could put them in the stock location and use multifunction gauges.

Only reason I suggested such was to replace idiot lights with actual gauges and not take up space on the dash.
