Default Airbag locations?

I was going to get a pillar mount gauge cluster for my car but noticed that on the pillar it stated "Airbag". Does this mean it's located there? If not, then where is it, and where are the rest of the airbags located?

There are airbags in both front pillars. You'd be foolish to mount a gauge there.. unless you like it slamming into your face during an accident!

Yep - keep it tasteful and use a vent mount or column mount. Taking a 2 1/16" slug through the forehead would definitely not buff out.

Yeah gauge pods =

If you're lookin for a place to mount a boost gauge, try one of the vents, there's plenty of them to choose from

I think AWE Tuning sells the kit with the pod plus the gauge (either vent pod or steering column pod).

Nope, I'm not a big fan of head trauma. Thanks for the answers guys.
