    it would be something stupid like obstructing view.

    i know someone got defected for other reasons, and had to move the gauges to below the dash to get the car cleared.

    I think the would only defect you if you got an arsehole..

    I actually like the gauges there, but you could also do like DeViLisanAnGeL done on his stato....



    I'm kind of stuck on either of those 2 spots or just to the left of the steering wheel...
    Also try some 3m double sided tape, that shit will make anything stick

    yeah it's classed as obstructing view/distraction, same as hanging an air freshener or some shiny crap from your rear vision mirror, get a cop in a bad mood and they'll do ya for it

    With the dash it's ment to be a padded surface for you to face plant in a crash, thats one reason I can think of not allowing it.

    Mount them in the center vents touring car style
