Default Where Are Your Gauges Mounted

So on my quest to NA-T my 97 SC, I have run into a little trouble when it comes to my gauges.

I want to mount three on my dash and my Wide Band on my upper steering wheel cover but am unsure as to how to drill through leather, and placement for the ones on the dash

In struggling with these decisions, I am asking for members to post pics of their gauge locations and if mounted on the dash where and how you ran your wires

CURRENTLY ACQUIRED I HAVE

Digital Wide Band
Trans Temp
Boost
EGT

The picture is not mine or of my car but basically looking for something like this;

Hmmm.... The picture you "borrowed" is from Patrick at Popformance and the device above the Pioneer head unit is his LXCC climate controller that will also be capable of being a display for gauges instead of having to mount anything on the dash or on a door pillar.

Take a look..... Might want to consider this instead of having to drill holes in your dash......

Another option would be to replace the ubiquitously cracked center vents with a custom fabbed gauge panel. Some of the Miata guys do that with their eyeball vents without any problem as far as blocked airflow.
