Agree with Dave on that one..
I had gauges in there when i brought the car and hated looking downwards
So covered it over with some cloth and a boot 'Cosworth' badge.. Looks quite smart imo
Have it high up where u can see it! Maybe on the piller or middle heater vents as said above!

I had them in my old XR4X4. I made the plate out of aluminium sheet to hold three 52mm gauges and covered the plate in vinyl:

not sure if they do or dont, mine was done with a 50mm cutter then 'filed' to make the gauges fit as tight as possible.
