Windshield Mounted Gauges ???

I have a e99 F350 and was wondering if any of you guys or gals have Windshield Mounted Gauges? If so did you have any problems running the wires or sensor leads ? Did you run the wires down drivers side ? And was wondering how well it mounts to headliner and windshield ? That and if you have photo's even better. Thanks for the input

I have that setup in my 07 works great mounts by clips under headliner and Velcro type tape to windshield I ran the power wires up the drivers side and the sensor wires and tube on pass side it looks almost factory as it matches the super duty emblem on the windshield ^so the backside is completely hidden!

What gauges are you using: EGT, trans, boost ?? And were all the leads and tubing kit long enough? And with the weight if the guages it stays put when you hit bumps in road or you happen to not even be on a road.

Jim, does your truck have the overhead console? I love the look of the gauges on the ceiling, but I dont think It will fit my truck unless I move the mirror down a bit.

My overhead console is like yours!! And I am hoping that someone out there has the overhead gauges with our console. That and I want to see what it looks like.
