My idea is to make a panel that would go where the glove box is and have a slight recess so the glove box door can still be used to keep a stock like look. You wouldnt be able to use this for things that need to be monitored. This is perfect for me just trying to see if anyone else is interested in them? i could start making them some time soon if anyone wants one. basicly this would just get rid of the cluttered look when you start trying to stuff everything under the radio. Plus it hides everything out of site when the glove box door is closed.

I have seen 2-3 gauges mounted on a pod over the center speaker.

Same # of gauges on the dash over the passenger's side where the airbag would go (on '93's), covered with a CF curved plate on hinges

Same # of gauges on panel under the radio w & w/o hinged cover.

Same # of gauges inside the glovebox.



Can you explain your plan further?

From what I gather its to make a panel that sits in the glove box to hold things that dont require constant attention. You know what else would be cool? A panel that sits on some sort of track that slides out from under the seat. I have mounted things under seats plenty of times, but it usually means taking the seats off to work on them.



Seppuku- I know of some people who mount stuff in thier glove box, it is a good spot to get things out of the way.

Could a box be made to hold a Brofec B , and one or two gauges ? Heres a idea , I was thinking about a Greddy Profec E-01.Possibly dissasemebling the screen and mounting it in the sun visor .(its something I dont need to see all the time and I thought it would look cool above .The hand held controler could be mounted in the box in the small storage compartment .

the thing i learned by letting a good driver drive my car at the track, is that a driver shouldnt have to look at the guages, and besides when you're going fast you will prolly ignore them, i do
