Default Gauge pod on center dash?

I got a simple gauge pod for wideband, o2 and oil pressure. I want it right on the middle dash but idk what's under it. Can I just start cutting away a hole or what?

97 Civic ex coupe

Ok noob. You run EITHER a wideband or 02, not both. You said nothing about turbocharging the car.

A wideband is an o2 sensor, but why the hell does it matter? It has nothing to do with my post, I'm asking what's under the dash right there so I can cut a hole and run wires. What wires? What are the wires for? IT DOESN'T MATTER.

It has everything to do with your post. YOU WANT OIL PRESSURE, O2 SENSOR, AND WIDEBAND GAUGES, BUT 2 OF THESE ARE THE SAME FOTHERMUCKING THING!!! Now do you understand why in addition to your attitude that you’re not getting anywhere?

I have one of those gauge pods, it looks like crap and all the gauges rattle. So I am moving mine down to the center vent location. This is only because I already have the A-pillar pods also.

Either use the A-pillar first, or put them down in the console where either the vents or radio would be.
