Third gauge placement ideas. Ideas?

I have a boost and water temp gauge on each side of the tachometer. However, with the HFS-4 installed, I now have a 3rd gauge. So any ideas on where to place it without making it look off? I'm thinking of the vent pod but worry about condensation from the A/C and running/hiding the wires that connect at the back of the gauge. Otherwise, I'm thinking maybe use the driver side cup holder. The 52mm gauge fits perfectly in there and I can jimmy rig the cup holder to run the wire underneath and unseen(gotta drill through the cup holder). Last option is to put it underneath the middle console(empty space in front of cup holders) but I'm not sure how to keep it there. And no I'm not installing an a pillar gauge pod.

Pod looks good but how would I secure that pod? And is my math off but isn't 2 1/16" slightly smaller than 52mm?(Nevermind about the size, I see it has some leeway)
