That would be an awesome place to mount gauges but the issue is that 52mm gauges are bigger than you (or I) realize. Having gone through my own build it would be very difficult to put more than 1 gauge where you're proposing.

so youre saying that my MS Paint circles may not be to scale...?

I never measured, but pretty sure that three would be a no go. Maybe two.

Correct. 2 might fit but it's going to be really tight.

The is a user here who made his own with one gauge next to the display screen. I'll have to go find the post. But yeah, it's just big enough for one.

Had anyone taken the "cover" off of the dash, the part that has the hood over the display screen? I'm wondering if anything is under it, could just bolt a couple gauges on top, similar to the focus st factory gauges.

I'm pretty sure there is a speaker where you're talking about.

I thought there was a speaker there as well, due to the grille. Turns out the grille is just for cooling the SYNC system. I don't know how much clearance there is underneath, however.
