I think its hollow. I remember a guy from PO.com had his VAFC custom molded into it. Looked pretty cool.

There's enough room for wiring for gauges - don't know about a VAFC, though. The vents pass right underneath it, so it's not really all that "deep" a space.

Pull it off & take a look, it's just clipped in there.

well for the vafc i am going to use a dremmil and cut it out, then file it to size.

i am using thin strips of sheet metal for the mounting bracket and going to epoxy them onto the back.

ill post pics of it when i get it done. hopefully tomorrow.

No offense man, but how do you plan to be able to read those gauges once the panel is back in the car?
The top one looks like it will be almost vertical!

ok, once again, the gauges CAN be read there. at least i can read them and thats all that really matters

here it is before being put into the car.

oh, BTW, metal brackets sucked so i used good ol epoxy lol. i have a feeling that this setup isnt going to last too long. but who knows.

I like it, if I had any gauges (or a Prelude), I'd get you to make me one.
