Default custom gauge pod

hey guys, need some opinions. on monday im getting a custom pod made. i could either do a custom a-pillar, 1 for boost, one for A/F, but problem being, the texture on the pod wont match the cloth like material on my a-pillar. so how about 2 pods on my steering coloum, kinda like this \ / (gauge on each end of slash). or one last one that i kinda thought of, build it into the dash right above my middle vent (refer to pic). this way the texture could be matched to the dash easily, and it will look all built in n ****. tell me what yall think!

I'd go for the A-pillar mount. If you want it to match the trim, take it to a good auto upholstery shop before you install it. They can probably match the fabric.
