Lightbulb Gauge mounting options

I did some searching and maybe was too vague, but I'm surprised I didn't find anything. If there's a thread out there already, feel free to point it out.

Is no one else frustrated with the lack of gauge pod placement? I really don't want a pillar pod, but I just don't see a nice spot that I like for 2-3 gauges. As much as I hate the stock NAV unit, I don't want to replace it for a gauge panel.

I have some leftover STRI gauges from my STi and while I won't be needing boost anytime soon, I would like to install Oil Temp, Oil Press, EGT gauges. I'm stoked that the oil galley plugs are both easy to reach. That was a bitch on my WRX and nearly made me commit suicide on my STi.

Has anyone already started playing with custom gauge pods? I know there are some talented 'glassers out there! One that I've seen a pic of (can't recall where) was three gauges on the passenger-side plastic dash trim clocked towards the driver. Looked cool, but also kind of far away. I want them in my line of sight.

I thought of little attached pods on either side of the cluster hood, but I think it'd look silly. Thoughts?

NOTE: this is not the place to discuss the necessity of gauges. I have them and I like using them. Just looking to brainstorm some ideas.
