Who all who has their gauges mounted on the pessenger side dash
How hard was to drill the hole ?? did you guys relocate anything ?? I looked behind the glove compartment and it seems like there is an AC tube behind it..Any hint or points will be appreciated
Thanks

If I were you I would not put them over there... Little pointless. Try to get them in your field of view when driving... Like an A-Pilliar or such.. Even in the DIN above your radio would be better I would think.. Good luck.

its pretty easy to drill the hole as long as you have a good set of drill bits...and yeah, there is an AC tube in the way so you have to drill thru it to make the gauges fit...hope that helps

When I bought my car, several years ago, it had 4 gauges above the glovebox. I could not safely drive and look at them at the same time, so I bought a new dash and got rid of them. As stated before, you should place gauges on your field of view. I also had a couple of gauges on the A-pillar but I got rid of them because I did not like the cheap-looking plastic and my left hand would bump into them during spirited autocross driving. I bought a new A-pillar cover and got rid of the gauges. I placed the boost gauge on an RE Amemiya steering column mount, and 2 other gauges above the radio. If need be, I would mount other gauges on a center speaker gauge pod.

hahaha yeah..just trying to look coo..I'm more into the show but I am going to fabricate it so the gauges WILL face towards the driver instead of facing str8 I don't like the idea of having gauges in the pods ( FACTORY STYLE all the way )
