Default Guages in Radio DIN on 96-98 EK

Has anyone tried to put some guages into the 96-98 Radio slot? I'm debating on whether i should take my radio out and just put 2-3 Guages in there. Only because I'm getting fairly pissed at the headunit i just bought, its a Jensen VM9512HD. It came with a ridiculously huge bundle of wires at the back of it to plug in auxiliaries, and as such its a huge pain to shove into the dash to secure it.

move your radio to your lover din above your cup holders. you dont need to extend any wires or anything. its a plug and play move. then put your gauges up in your upper din with a oem block off plate to hold the gauges. that is just what i would recommend

I thought about that but the Jensen VM9512HD has a flip out screen. making it hard to open the screen.

on a side note: i like the pedals and shift ****. brand?

I know, but that center console shifter trim looks kinda gay :/
assuming i'd have to swap the center and that trim piece to get it to look nice.
