Default where to put air fuel gauge

Hey guys i need your opinion on where it is easier to mount the air/fuel gauge and how to install it...on the door pillar or on the center on top of the ac ducts....on an 02 gt

Thanks in Advance

I installed one for one of my buddies on top of the steering column (single pod) If its a narrow band A/F you can splice the black wire from your stock 02's and and just tap any 12v power source from your dash. I ran it up beside the shifter and then ran it through the dash, it looks great. IMO running it to one of those dual pods that sits on your dash would be a PITA.

I would put it back in the box and get a refund but that’s just me. I had one in my car for about a year but took it out because It did absolutely nothing but blink around giving me no useful info about my car. Mine was located on my dash to the right of the c-pillar.

Well, IMO if you want it for looks put it on your A-Pillar it took me but 5 minutes literally to do mine..and its easiest to read there and for looks most people will see it there...and if in the future you actually need it..then its in a reasonable spot..all you need is a Pillar to put it in and a 3/16 drill bit and you are good to go!

What colors do you have?

Black will go to ground, as for the other two, one will go to a 12V power source, and the last will go to the ECU
