personally I would put it next to the a-pillar, or mock up a quick mold to hold it where the air vent is. is that an AEM unit? and yes, youre a ricer

I was thinking of putting it by the A pillar but they have air bags behind it so chose not to go that route.

Not a bad location... I need to reposition mine somewhere better too, its way too low... Only reason I didnt want it that high up, makes the car look too racer/ricer ish LOL

On the side note, how come you have km/h instead of mph lol

Good location as no passengers should be able to see it accept you. Nice and clean IMO.

Not a bad spot, perhaps the best location up top.

This might be an even better option, depending on what phone you use?

Term Ricer is used so liberally it has lost all meaning. Some think any bumper mesh grills are rice, guess they never seen an AMG from the factory? LOL. Who cares what others think about your car.

Honestly, I think that it would have looked better mounted on the A Pillar. I'm just saying

I see you have your interior wrapped in carbon.. How hard was it to remove the interior pieces to wrap them?

Gross dude. Put it someplace hidden.

Like the Ashtray or that stupid coin holder POS next to the glovebox.

Or get creative and get rid of the clock and put it there.

Or take out the CD changer and put it in there.

Shiit, I might even be inclined to put it in the center vent/speaker location.

Or block off that vent right next to it and have something custom made to fit in there.

Lots of options. None of them easy. You have a MB, not a Mustang/Camaro etc etc etc.

Keep the comments coming.
I would put it in the ashtray but I like to see in front when I drive rather than looking down at WOT

Why would you want to do that, much more fun to be looking down into the arm rest when going wot and sideways.

LOLL at some of those locations.

What about in the ash tray location? You could flip it up while driving and close it when you're parked. Not really ideal for seeing while driving but very discrete. Otherwise I like the location, but my **** self wants it to be straight and/or pointed at the driver and not towards the window.

shardul, are you going to add any other gauges? If you are, you might as well delete the air bag and put it on the a pillar

Please don't put that up on your dash. I personally in this car would get a little rectangle digital gauge if I was going to put a gauge in the car and fit it around the wheel somewhere.



Or get real creative and make something like this. I have this in my Audi made my Podi with the dual display VEI gauge with boost and A/F.

I personally like it. Who cares if people think you're a ricer. I'd rather have people think that and make sure I can keep my eyes on my A/F info so I don't blow anything...

If I decided to do it, I think I would have tried to retrofit it into the A/C vent by the door.

+1, and if they're far enough in your rear view mirror they'll never see the gauge no matter where it's mounted.
