As you can see it's not a very clean install, I'd like to move it, does anyone sell kits to mount it in the vent? I already have the gauge obviously, I just want a cleaner look... Any other suggestions?

Holy crap. Fill that hole and mount the gauge on the A pillar or something.

Default well since its alreayd sorta busted up you could just make a backing plate

and cover up the hole. Just so you dont have to spend $$ fixing what was already done to it and it would probably look pretty clean as well. Mount the guage to the plate and figure out how to mount the plate to the hole

Default I would think just like a piece of black plastic

not sure where exactly you could find it but im sure you could find something. even if it was something lying around the house...could just hack it up
