Re: Glove box installs anyone? (redx)
very nice job. . . . but whats the point of gauges you cant see?
just curuious. I always thougt they were to keep an eye on engine vitals, but kinda hard to do when hidden . \
Nonetheless great job though.

I use to have them in the a pillar, then it started getting to me. The fit was terrible, and the gauges in your face were annoying to say the least. I mainly got them for tuning the car.
You can however see them from the driver seat, just not aswell as the a pillar.

I see them now nice job!
I thought about mounting my ECU in the glove box, making it easier to remove when I leave the car parked somewhere. But I have problem with the glovebox opening on hard shifts. Ive tried to adjust it tighter, but no luck. So damn annoying.

Sorry for providing this service free of charge to almost 10,000 users. Maybe I'll just shut it down since you all seem to complain about it so much.

I don't see why people complain about a service that is provided to them for free. If you want to bitch about a service try paying for it first.
Edit: Nice install, what is the template made of?

Re: Glove box installs anyone? (dmotoguy)
Then there is no need for an oil pressure gauge. 
or that would annoy him. i'm just teasing. it looks great and is useful...but i still like seeing the gauges or as you said warning lights if something actually happens and not after its seized

How much did it end up costing you?
Bondo and paint can be pretty expensive for just a simple mod.
I suggest using ABS plastic and cut/mold/form it to fit correctly. It's a very very cheap alternative.
