That method does sound nice, but I definitely wouldn't want to be cutting holes in the top of my dash, but the steering rack surround I could definitely see. The other downside is that the gauges are down in the line of sight of the OEM gauges, and we all know we very rarely check those when on the track and not on a long straight away, haha. I like the A pillar solution because it is in my line of sight the majority of the time. I'm moving the gauges/warning lights in my racecar up to on top of the dash as well in this offseason because I hated only being able to check them on straightaways. I don't care about drilling holes in that 25 year old cracked dash, haha.
