Panel for left vent on 99 SI
 

Does anybody know if they make a replacment panel for the left air vent by the window where I would be able to cut it out to place a guage in?? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

that would be pretty easy to make

Do you have any ideas on how to make it?

this is just off the top of my head, but...

get some plastic, or maybe even carbon fiber at http://www.raceplates.com

trace the vent hole with onto some paper

cut out the vent hole shape and draw it onto the underside of the material with a crayon.

if you're using soft or thin plastic, you could probably cut it with some kind of clippers or scissors. carbon fiber would need a dremmel.

after you cut it out, you could make a mounting bracket in the vent hole. maybe get some L-brackets or something from the hardware store. i dunno what it looks like in there so im not able to come up with a good way of setting it in.

before you mount it, cut out where you want to put the gauge.


also, if you want a more custom look, you could get some fiberglass at a hardware store and form it to be kind of like a dome thing or something, who knows. there are lots of different ways.

sounds like a good plan. the gauge usually has it's own bracket to mount onto/behind whatever the material is, definately the hard part would be seeing how to mount the "gauge pod" so to speak.
