If you've put a aftermarket tach or other gauge in your car, I'd like to see it on your dash in a picture. Thinking about getting one myself but don't know where to put it

I've been looking at these:

Anyone use one or similar, there are two gauge ones as well.

I've also thought about getting a OBD 2 HUD, several on ebay, which projects gauges into the windshield but most reviews are not to favorable.

The thing about OBD2 based stuff in regard to gauges is our cars do not have oil pressure senders, They only have an oil pressure switch. Meaning you geat no useful information about oil pressure. Oil pressure and an actual water temp gauge are the only extras I really want in my NA car. ( I have a tach already being a Canadian car)

HUDs are cool looking idea, but yeah the reflection sucks. I use Torque app (OBD) on a tablet installed to monitor sensors.

Thanks for the replies so far. I would still like to see a few photos of aftermarket gauges installed. I was under the impression several here had installed a tach.

I'd personally want a 2" one. Has anyone installed gauges on their pillars using something like this?
