Okay, I'm deciding where to place my remaining 3 gauges. I used to have them in the passenger airbag compartment and the lid would lilft up and they'd be right there. But I used to also have my cd changer in there. Anyway, I'm also debating about placing them down in the ashtray place. I've seen a couple people place them there before, but I can only fit two so I'd have to find a place for one more. Anyway, what are some of your opinions on where to place three more gauges?
No it can be for looks or convenience, I just want to hear some opinions. This is on a 4th gen lude.

 

on the dash, angled slightly towards you.

 

driver's side tweeter panel, passenger tweet panel if it's not important. Door vents... attach to a suckion cup and put it on the window, move it around, mix it up.

 

What did you use to make you airbag conpartment pop up. does it also close with a press of the switch. any pics?

 

This is what I had before but then I decided to sell thate car. But then no one bought it and I looked at other forms of engine management and decided to keep the car!! haha But I took everything out and now I plan to put it back in.







So like I said, I'm either gonna place gauges there in the airbag place or in the ashtray spot, but I am also considereing putting my changer in the airbag compartment.

As for the pictures, I used a couple of metal strips to hold it up along with springs to create tension when it was closed. I eventually used a headlight motor (which fucked up) and connected it to a relay that would open and close with the ignition switch. It's funny, when the motor broke, the panel would go up and down like 2 or 3 times before it stopped!! haha Also, I need to make a better mount for the motor, it vibrated a lot.....but I only used sippy ties!! haha

Oh yah and to answer your question zero1typeS, yes, I also added a switch so I could shut it while the key was turned to ignition.

 

wow, lots of red and gauges goin on in there. What are all those gauges for? You have turbo?

haha, yah man, it's like a circus in there!! haha, anyway, yah I have...well, had turbo but then decided to try and selll the car, but now, I'm not so the turbo is going back in!! It sucks, cuz now I gotta wire everything back up!! haha
Oh well.

 

I took the little tray thing out from underneath my cd player and cut a piece of steel plate to fit in the gap. Then I drilled out for the gauges....looks good!

The plate doesn't fit good, so I'lll be cutting another out of diamond plate-aluminum when I get the car back up and running.
