Best Gauges (and pods/holders) for Evo X?

What do you guys recommend?

I am currently gauge-less. In my old Evo VIII I had a gauge pod on the left pillar -- Boost, Oil Temp, and Exhaust Temp gauges.

I'd say don't put gauges on the a-pillar... not on a brand new X.

I was actually thinking that this would be the best way, and the cleanest route to go. I just wonder how difficult it is to read while driving?

actually not hard at all. the guages i got have 7 different colors to them and some are hard to read during the day, ie the blue especially. i keep them on the red to match the colors in the car and dash and i have no problem what so ever seeing them.

I love my defi's.. I don't think I could ever go with a different gauge. Although I hate that they make my stock gauges look crappy... If we only had the STI's gauges... That is the only thing I envy on them...

I'm getting a custom pod mounted on the pillar, fiberglassed onto the existing stock pillar to retain the tie strap that holds the stock pillar in place at the top during air bag deployment. Planning on running some Defi 60mm white or 52mm white gauges up there, boost, egt, oil pressure and then running my innovate wideband somewhere out of sight like the glove box or center cubby.
