I agree.

I think, but I may be wrong , that they mean it is hard to read guages from drivers seat.
Why not locate them just to the left of the speedometer/odometer/tach?

Otherwise, looks fine to me.

I've never had a problem reading them. Wasn't willing to drill into my new dashboard for some gauges...Maybe I should take a picture from the driver side to give you guys perspective! All good..everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I'm not knocking you for putting in gauges, I just want to make that clear. But isn't a lot more ergonomical and safe to have the gauges in front of you so that you aren't looking to the other side of the car while driving? That's where I have a problem with the gauges.

It's not like you are needing to constantly monitor those gauges, IMO....

MOVED!

Thanks for the compliments..I actually held the camera while I was in the driver seat!

I am running, Oil Temp, Water Temp, and Oil pressure. Scion only offers the little light as a sign of your water temperature. Normally, my water and oil temps are around 80 degrees Celcius. I've seen it go up to 100 C on certain days, but nothing over that.
