Default Opinions on attached Defi gauge mounting location

I'm planning on having 2 or 3 Defi guages installed with my APS TT. Attached is the "typical" location my tuner places them for C6s'. What do you think?

It kind of reminds me of Micky Mouse ears, however the locations do look functional.

I'm leaning toward buying the Autometer 2 or 3 guage pillar mount and modifying for the Defi guages since the guages are 60mm and the Autometer pillar is designed for 52mm.

Turbo Tom has a great custom set-up for his Defi guages in the center air vents but I don't want to give up the vents.

opinions and other ideas welcomed!

either A-pillar or possibly(if there are gauges small enough) underneath the radio in place of the little trap door thing in between the heated seat switches.

i've seen pics of guages in the holes for the vents above the radio, not sure if it was a kit or custom, looked cool. it sort of had a blank where the vent grills were, and the guaged were mounted in that..

Which three gauges are you going with? And which ones from defi? I like those BF Meter ones, but won't fit an A-pillar mount. It would be great if they offered 60mm A-pillar mounts with either two or three gauges.

Mickey Mouse is the exact first thing that popped into my head when I saw the pic. Before I read the other posts!
