Ohh..I didn't know that's what you meant. I mean i suppose you could do it, not sure how you would secure the gauges in place though. and i have a feeling you'll need that gas gauge Just pull out the cluster and see what you can do with it

no i dont want to put it in the dash
i am talkin bout the gauge pod that holds the 2 gauges one over by the temp gauge and one over by the gas gauge it sits in front of them and does not replace the factory stuff but it will make it a little harder to see the factory temp and factory gas gauge i know the will fit a 52mm gauges cus thats what the pod says it will fit but i want to put 60mm gauges there and am curous as to what it would look like with that big of a gauge there i have been told that i can bore the pod out to fit a 60mm gauges but i am curous about the depth and what it would look like to have that 2 big gauges sittin in the pod

your first description was terrible...no one could even guess you wanted the dual gauge cluster pod, you can easily mount a 60mm gauge by using a dremel, but i have no idea how it would look sorry

There's plenty of room, you just need to do some grinding/sanding. The two are 60mm Greddy gauges.

I never tried fitting a 60mm gauge into the Integra's gauge bezel, but I have a '96-up Civic bezel fitted with another Greddy 60mm gauge. It was a tight fit, but doable:
