If you have a single din headunit the pocket underneath would be out of the way, other go full retard and put them on the pillars, bit distracting though.

+ 1
. . . . . plus you will wreck your dash mounting them and running the connections.
Mount them inside the glovebox, angled towards the driver? Then the passenger can open the glovebox and watch the needles. Your eyes are best kept on the road.
Perhaps on the centre console, below the radio? If you don't mind losing ashtray, etc.

(Saw a car once with amp and oil pressure gauges mounted UNDER the bonnet - owner said that's the best time to check readings, when your head is under the bonnet. lol Bit of a warm engine rev to check pressure and alternator output. lol)
