I mounted mine where the little “hand dryer” vents are. I don’t have a pic of it dead on unfortunately but you can see it on the right side of the image: ![http://home.cogeco.ca/~gschau/silvia/JDMTyTE.jpg](http://home.cogeco.ca/~gschau/silvia/JDMTyTE.jpg) ---

You can mount them ontop of your steering column, or take out a vent, cut into your dash… ---

![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/s12_gotBoost/Builtblock009-.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/s12_gotBoost/Builtblock009-.jpg) I currently have the same dillema. As you can see my 3 gauges are under the deck. But I have no idea where I will put the A/F gauge. Since my dash is brown, I think i will cut a hole in it on the passenger side, and if I don’t like the look of it I will just throw it out when I get a black dash. Or I could always just mount them on top of the dash and drill holes for the wires… I do not like the look of pillar pods at all, the 515 looks good, but I would like to keep my vents. ---

ya just make one yourself out of sheet metal to fit in the bottom part of the deck whole. or take out one of the vents and make a little piece to fit it in there. or better just, just cut a whole in the dash and angle them with a piece fo sheet metal there and then put a nice plate over top of some stainless to cover up the hack job. possibilities are endless. all ya need is some tin snips and a drill. ---

i know its a bit more work but i think between the air vents is the best… i mean between the center ones and passenger. It might look dumb if you just have one there but it looks very clean with about 3 or more evenly spaced. ---

You can also email Mael (5one5 Innovations) at [5one5Innovations@gmail.com](mailto:5one5Innovations@gmail.com) He has this pod that replaces the center vent on the S13…it’s very oem looking. ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/772000-772999/772995_8_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/772000-772999/772995_8_full.jpg) ---
