So I was thinking of adding some gauges later down the road. But i like to plan everything way way in advance. So a pillar gauge pod isnt to bad but not my first choice. So does anyone make anything for the later c4's for gauges in the cabin. Also where did you guys stick your gagues. Thanks for any post

Oh also im not into removing my radio or heater vents for gauges

Pillar works well and it really doesn't block your view very much at all. Below is a picture of my pillar pods and a link to a video where you can see what it looks like while driving, at the end of the clip. Just a suggestion, I have a small digital MSD shift light in the vents that also works well.

pillar pods are my choice also. I have had them in a couple of cars and like the clean look and the ease that you can read the gauges.

I like the hidden shift-lite man. Good idea for strret racers "not that I would ever condone such a thing) hehe

If I had some I would like to get mine done up like that one C5 fella, "Shagster" ? maybe? Custom built into the center console.

That is a great place for them. I thought about doing this in place of the pillar pod, but that is where I put the line lock, N2O activation switch, bottle warmer switch, and the purge button. I still think it would look good though.
