Default Should I mount my gauges like this?

Should I mount my gauges like pic 1, or pic 2? They will be held in a fiberglass mold coverd in a black fabric material to match everything else.

Thanks

Personally i don't like either, you should get a bezel like Tony and Remmy's and put them in the spot buy the speedo

clicky

You didn't put it as an option but I think that putting them above the radio and climate control would look pretty cool. I don't like those things that put them infront of the cluster.

if you do a crazy looking professional job on it, then i would say do it on the top of the center of your entire dash, with them facing the driver, it would be even cooler if you covered it in the vinyl that is on the dash already, i don't think i've seen that done before

Both of those aren't very safe though. lol. You have to look away from the road to see them either way.
