Custom Mounted Gauge, Check it out:

I dont know if anyone else has this but we (me and 96BluMax) mounted my gauge to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. Check it out and tell me what you guys think.

That looks good and very clean! The only problem is that if u want to take the gauge out you have a big hole in ur dash, thats whats turned a few others from doing that. It does look good tho.

There is really no need to take the gauge out ever, even when gettin rid of the car, AFR just looks purdy. Now I just need to get my other gauges.

I always tought about installing my tweeters in that location but afraid that there was no room behind it. I hate installing tweeters high up on the door panel or on the triangle cover for the side mirrors , they always seem to get wet when it's raining.

Speaking of mounting gauges, why isn't there an aftermarket part for Maximas that integrates two gauges into the factory dash?

I think that one is made by ProPods, but I'm not sure.

I've always wondered that too. I'm not a huge fan of A pillar gauges, I'd rather not drill a hole in the dash, and I need space for more than 1 gauge.
