Default Show me your wideband gauges

Hi,
I have finally managed to fit a wideband O2 sensor and I am looking for a discrete place to put the display.
At the bottom of the A pillar/corner of dashboard I have a boost gauge so I don't really want to clutter the area or make it look like a Christmas tree.
It must be somewhere that it can be removed without damaging the interior plastics.
The gauge is a 52mm AEM one.
The only location I am thinking of so far is in the sunglasses compartment by the map light, so it can be hidden when not needed.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

That's OK for mapping I guess but it's good to have a wideband connected as you can identify air leaks etc. IMHO.
On the other hand I am not a fan of Christmas tree gauges and lights hence the question where to fit it.
Also, wouldn't one in the exhaust show slightly leaner than the actual AFR due to the cats?

Yeah its good for mapping, I suppose if you are running maf and not map then you will see air leaks (showing as rich on boost)
I know what your saying about bright gauges, bit gay.
It will show rich (less o2) if its after the cats, not in the car above though as its a sierra cosworth!
