For those of you with a-pillar mounted gauges
How did you guys run the wires from your a-pillar gauges?
I like how people are mounting the gauges in the center console, but I'd imagine it is too hard to keep an eye on the gauges and on the road, so I'm going to put them on the a-pillar.
BTW, any pics of your a-pillar gauges is appreciated

i ran my vacuum line through the pasenger hole behind the glove. i just pushed it in from the engine until i saw it in the car. i pulled it behind the center console and towards the a-pillar.
wiring is easy. just take the panel on the side of the dash off. remove the coin tray. i grounded to a bolt behind the stock pillar i removed. i have two gauges so i ran the two together, grounds are together and power/ illumination. tapped power.illuminatino in the fusebox.

if u get a autometer boost gauge. swap the nylon line to a rubber vacuum hose and u need a fitting as well.
the nylon crinkled no matter what i did. my friend still uses his nylon line in his supra, its alittle kinked where u attach to the gauge. but it gives him accurate readings.

The point is don't use that cheap nylon line that comes with Auto meter guages.
It is strange but the car feels faster now, I think it might be in my head.
