what are the options i have for mounting four 2 1/16" gauges in my 99 si, pics are appreciated. i know abou the bezel for the gauge cluster, and the regular pillar pods, what else is there?

 

Get the 96-98 lower cup holder that has the pocket in it. Move your radio down there and then you can make an abs plastic plate where the radio and pocket used to be for all the guages. I think that would look nice.

That's what I did to my car. It's a bad picture but you get the idea that jDmDxTuRd is talking about.

 

yup just like what t he other guy said get a 96-98 cup holder and move your radio down there, so its up to you how you want to install your guage, cuz i have 3 on my 99 ek but i used a after market installation kit, so i just cut a small abs plastic and then poke 3 holes on it and there you go, you got 3 guages and then i still get to use the pocket.

thats exactly the setup i have in my 96 hatchback,..moved the radio down and i used ABS plastic to mount the gauges (sorry for the bad pictures)


and this is the gauge setup in my 97 hatchback

and i have one more gauge in my 97 hatchback in the cupholder

on my 2000 i just removed the din pocket under the radio,moved the radio where the pocket use to be and made a 3 gauge din panel,and put itwhere the radio use to be i dont have a pic to let u see but on the 96-98 pic its like that but for our 99-00 bezel.you dont have to move the radio down to the cup holder

good idea..
i found it weird that i couldn't put the gauges below the radio in the DIN but moving lets you keep both the radio and the gauges in??

 

You could fabricate a gauge mount in your glovebox if your going for a stealth look. HEre is an ebay link to help ya out.

the din panels are 16.00 and are a perfect fit,this is the one i used and ordered,good company,no dicking around either

note : some modification must be done to the radio to make to fit,ie the plastic outer boarder that sourrounds the face must be removed on the upper portion of the radio if moved to the lower din(din pocket location) and made flush to put a 2 1/16 gauge in this location,(dont worry it doesntt look at all hack,i get alot of compliments about it)and use a bremel to do this and also the din panels edges are square,to go wit the contour of the bezel,just radius the edges needed
