What the heck do I do?!?! I just bought 4 different gauges that matches my pillar gauges, and I plan to install them in my passenger's side dash, between the airbag and the glove compartment, I've seen some members with them already, how the hell do I install these babies?!?!
 I tried to unscrew the glove compartment and look behind the dash but there seems to not be enough room, also how should I make the holes? With a drill? I hope it aint gonna tear my dash if I mess up, I dont know what I'll do! Also, someone's pissin me off, whenever I'm at work, two times its happened already, some hater has let the air out of my tire, that is straight out wack, they've done it twice already, and if I see who it is, if its a boy I'ma mess him up right there on the spot, but if its a chick, I'll probably just, ummm, push her a lot or something.

I want to mount 3 under the radio instead, I think they'd look pretty slick there.

Yeah, I noticed that when I made some templets but it didn't look like that big of a deal though cuz I was planning on molding some mounts in anyways. Do you have any pics of yours? |

 When they are developed, I will scan and post.
