depends on if you want it to be a simple bolt and go sort of thing or do you want to get your hands dirty?

The only bolt and go application is going to be a triple pod A-pillar set up. Or, you could get a bunch of those SRT pods that go in the dash and cut/glue them in, like so:

Your options are kid of limited if you don't like the pillar location. There are custom pieces made that can go on the steering wheel column:

and also one-off pieces that go on each side of the gauge cluster. (currently looking for pictures...)

Or a ghetto set-up like this:
