Holy moly CSIPSD! That's a pretty awesome setup you have there. Looks like you were having trouble making up your mind as well, so you just used all of the mounts! Very cool.

I too vote for the pillar, since they're so easy to see while driving.

Have you seen cartmanea's install? Another option and it looks really clean!

CLay juast installed the 4 hole "A" pillar pod in my truck. A DP Tuner control went in the bottom hole. It's nice having it right at the corner of your vision. You don't have to take your eyes off of the road to check your gauges or change your tune. ( my mom used to tell me to change my tune a lot.)
