lower console, still easy to see but not as easy to see as your cluster location.

i had them in the glove box at first. bolted in with a 3pod dealy. and then it went straight onto the dash then 3m taped to the floor right infront of the shifter...soon they will go into the pockets of the cruise control and cluster light control holes of my gsr dash...or a double din and cut out 3 holes. idk yet

its a 92-95 civic with a "jdm" console but from the looks you have a 96-00 in which that console wont fit

edit: a VERY clean 92-95 civic at that

Yup, it's an EG optional console. i didn't want to mount it where my head unit is because i didn't want theives thinking it was a head unit (since i can't remove a face plate on the gauges). my car is a daily driver and part time track machine. better visibility could be had in the head unit location if that's your concern.

thanks dood, just vacuumed it prior to that pic.

I like mine in the cluster bezel. Maybe it has something to do with the cluster that you bought. My buddy makes a real nice one. His username is luv2boost. His name is mike. Talk to him about a better bezel.
