Does any one know what the best spot to hide gauges would be? Im trying to keep my car stock looking as possible but need 2 hide 3 gagues. Thinking of putting them on the bottom din of our dubble din space. But its 2 tight. i know it can be done. but i want to be able to keep the flipy thingy to hide it. Another spot i was thinking was in the armrest compartment.
Any ideas? |

I would just custom mount them in the storage pocket since you want to be able to hide them. In the glovebox or the armrest compartment you're not going to be able to easily read the gauges when you're driving.

Little more elaborate, but...
take off the power window control on the driver's side and put them down there. then put the driver's controls in the arm rest or on the Cigarette lid... -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

relocate your radio to the glove box. use the double din for however many guages you want, then build yourself a cover. make sure you have a remote for your radio.
