Boost gauge, AFR, sure doesn't seem like Lexus expected anyone to add a gauge or two into these cars. Where did you put them? Pictures a plus! Let's see your best!

I've been thinking about this as well. I currently have my boost gauge in the center cup holder
However, it's not the best location. Trying to drive and see peak boost while driving is, well, not that easy.
The glove box is nice, but again, not in the most condusive location. My fjo gauge will be going on top of the steering column, and I think the boost gauge will have to stay in the holder for now.
As for a gauge pod, I've looked all over, and haven't seen any, especially since we have the handle on the pillar. I'd like to see if anyone else has come across any pillar pods (tan preferrably ) I tried using a universal steering column pod, however, our column is too wide

Theres this guy out in Australia that makes a gauge pod to put on the pillar of the car, but since its Australia, its designed for the right handed side of the car, but maybe you can ask him if he can make it on the left side..........
