Gauges on the center of the dash?

I have seen how most people have gauges on the a pillar but I was thinking I may want mine over on the dash instead. Imagine them right over the center air vents? I'd like to start out with a few there instead because I think it would look cooler

I guess my question is (I don't know anything about how gauges work) how once I have made something to hold/mount them do I run the cables/wires back with out it looking like a mess? I want to keep my air because... I get hot sometimes and cold others..

I kind of remember a thread where someone did this to I wanna say an 08 TC but for the life of me cant remember how they did it.. How much slack do you normally get with gauges like the AEM wb for example?

I know it will look good, I had pvc and balsa laying around and have a mock up already, took some pics but cant upload here at work, I'll try to get them up later.

I have never disassembeled a dash before..Is everything underneath for the air/vents? How much room under the surface does the heating/cooling system take up? I wonder if it doesnt consume all space beneath if I gcould just drill down at a point and go from there...but htat also brings up the slack/possibility of extensions for gauges. I know I want an AEM UEGO, Interceptor, and a boost gauge..
