Gen5 Where can I add extra gauges on a gen5?

I want to monitor a few things on the car like voltage and pressure (of my onboard air system); how have you guys done this? Is there a gauge pod for the A-pillar for the camry? Although that'd be sort of ricey. What are my other options of adding extra gauges?

Thumbs up

I put a ScanGauge in the plastic area by the power outlet. A real easy way to put in a volt meter.

The ScanGuage is a great option, I had it before and it monitors everything you would need. The only thing I like about guages is that it's easy to monitor and looks cooler, but I agree, A Pillers do look ricey IMO.

I don't think it's ricey unless it's like v6secamry said, pointless gauges with boost etc. If you get volts, oil temp, and tranny temp or water temp it would be useful. Aslong as the gauges go with the interior..and don't get in the way of the side impact airbags...IMO
