gauge project, almost done Options

[nightryder]

ok so I picked up three 2 1/16 gauges with the asumption i would mount them under my stereo deck, now that I take a second look.... i dont think itll fit . Anyone have any good places to mount em? Im trying to stay away from pillar pods because I want to keep a stock look, but if i have to, ill do it. Anyone have any good places to mount? pics?

They will fit over or under the CD player. I did it on my old st and i plan on doing it on my GT once i find the time. Also look at Jgreening's profile. He is also nice.

[nightryder]

will i have to shave into the center dash insert? Ill snap some pics and ask again, maybe its just my specific stereo.

mine also didnt fit but i made them.

[hitcachi]

Ya, itchy's setup is very similar to mine in the old ST. That works out well.

oooooooooo, Those look awesome doggy, but I have a convertible and the spot where those are placed is right where my controls are for the top! Those are sweet tho. Itchy, how'd you make that insert? it looks nice. A lil help?

Still have to paint the pannels..... the boost one i have had for a while but the other two

^^^thats a sweet setup man, did it take you a long time to get it like that?

[hitcachi]

Yes the air vent thing I've also been looking into doing that for a while now, it looks so good, and its its also in a really good spot to monitor.

[nightryder]

that looks pretty cool, but the vent is obviously bigger than the gauge, what do u use to fill in the extra space? Has anyone put them into the center vents?

[ice23q]

all i did was glue a peace of plexi glass behind the hole. Then used body filler to smooth it out.....sand it smooth and cut out the holes using a hole saw..... very easy to do.....Difficulty rating... 3/10

[nightryder]
