Question Guage pods?

I'm looking for a guage pod that's easy to read but not on the 'A' pillar. I would like tranny temp and oil temp + ? .
Any good sources for this and how about install?

I have seen some on the overhead console, can't remember who had it but I'm sure they will chime in. Looked real nice. Moregrip made a nice custom one in his dash bezel as well.

That looks pretty good but i want stealth. I have a plain wrapper and as far as the untrained eyes and ears can tell am bone stock. I dont want to draw attention to mods with a visible guage pod so the overhead deal might work or if i can squeeze a couple of guages in one of the spots on the dash?

Autometer I think makes a pod that fits around the steering column. You could do one there and one in the empty spot in the cluster where the tranny temp gauge goes. Or do the overhead socaldiesel one.
