I made a piece that replaces the glove box lid out of metal. I will be putting guages in it eventually. I took off my dual pillar guage pod, was sick of it and made a centre piece also, mounted 3 guages in it as well as some switches and my deck. Put the logicon in the armrest thing under the lid. I will find the pics that are already on the forum somewheres.


oh yeah, the glove box is no longer functioning, it houses my alarms.

nice pics! I have two amps in the back of my car right where yours is! How did you bolt it to the floor? Also I think I'm going to try the gauge in the glove box thing it looks pretty good I just think I'm going to center it. Thanks.

I have an HKS guage and electronics holder for the glove compartment if anyone is interested. Its for a right hand drive vehicle, but all you have to do is flip the HKS logo, and it will work great for left hand drive vehicles. $30 plus shipping, PM me for pics if interested.
