looking for opinions on a boost gauge
I'm between a AWE vent gauge or a single A-pillar gauge with a Autometer gauge. I like the clean look of the A-pillar, but the stealth qualities of the vent gauge (when viewed through the window on the road).
AWE Vent:

Example of A-pillar:

Autometer gauge (may paint the bezel black):

IMHO...skip both..
In my many years of owning, driving and being around cars (yeah..I'm old), I have NEVER seen a gauge mounted inside a vent. Never.
And the A-Pillar is, IMHO, more for Preludes and Civics.. along with an over-size tach and neon valve stem caps.
I chose to make the boost gauge install look more deliberate and less rice...Just my opinion...YMMV.
