Default Best spot...

On top of the steering column. All the wires you are tapping are right behind the instrument cluster anyway.

All the wires you need to run will fit underneath the adjustable piece of plastic that moves up and down with the adjustable steering wheel. So no wires are visable.

And best of all...it stays out of view of passengers and keeps them from asking..."why does your clock always say '2:00'?" (aka putting it in the cupholder spot)

This is the best i could find of mine...i need to take a better one.

Default i have mine under the arm rest. No one can see it and it is easy to access.

Also blends in with stock interior very well.

Default Yea, but that involves running wires.

And tapping wires...and other things. I'm lazy.

Default yes and no. you'll need to access it more then you think.

And also if it is hidden it is hard for mechanics or anyone else to know how to turn it off if they need to.

Default I dont want them to know i have it. So ill turn it off if i take my car to the dealer.

And installing it in the glove box like that is very tough. Ansen did this install and it required to take apart the Greddy and actually mount the face in a different spot than the face which required the lengthening of the ribben that plugs into the face.
