Get the 96-98 lower cup holder that has the pocket in it. Move your radio down there and then you can make an abs plastic plate where the radio and pocket used to be for all the guages. I think that would look nice.

That's what I did to my car. It's a bad picture but you get the idea that jDmDxTuRd is talking about.

yup just like what t he other guy said get a 96-98 cup holder and move your radio down there, so its up to you how you want to install your guage, cuz i have 3 on my 99 ek but i used a after market installation kit, so i just cut a small abs plastic and then poke 3 holes on it and there you go, you got 3 guages and then i still get to use the pocket.

and this is the gauge setup in my 97 hatchback

good idea..
i found it weird that i couldn't put the gauges below the radio in the DIN but moving lets you keep both the radio and the gauges in??

Re: (igo4bmx)
for refrences http://www.egauges.com/vdo_acc...Cart=
the din panels are 16.00 and are a perfect fit,this is the one i used and ordered,good company,no dicking around either
note : some modification must be done to the radio to make to fit,ie the plastic outer boarder that sourrounds the face must be removed on the upper portion of the radio if moved to the lower din(din pocket location) and made flush to put a 2 1/16 gauge in this location,(dont worry it doesntt look at all hack,i get alot of compliments about it)and use a bremel to do this and also the din panels edges are square,to go wit the contour of the bezel,just radius the edges needed
