TX Glove Box

Searched and couldn't find.

Has anyone successfully installed a cd/dvd player in there glove box?

My display is busted so i thought i'd just use it as a decoy. I'm also still trying to locate the other 4 speakers in the car. Anyone know what the diameters are?

I dont have any pics of it, but i mounted a tach in my glove box, (stock one doesnt work) all i did for the wires was pop the glove box light out of the back and run them throught that hole and ran the wires behind the dash.

I was going to just run the cd player wires to the glovebox and leave the old one in as a decoy or cover it up with a custom plate.

im not 100% sure it will fit but if it doesn't you can make a flat plate out of plastic or carbon fiber and cut out the hole for it to make a front face when you fold down the door.

check this guys fc out, its kinda what im talking about
