does anyone have a three-guage din mount in their celica?

i'd really like to get one and i'm hoping somebody can post some pics, where they got it, price, etc.

thanks!

thanks alot for the input guys, you've helped alot!

BUT....now i've got a pretty tough decision to make....

jgreening and itchy both have their gauges mounted below the radio, eggman you've got them on top....

i assume driving visibility is better with them higher, not to mention the controls for the radio are closer to your hand...

are there any advantages/disadvantages to each position, like wiring or panel thickness?

i'm probably only going to have 2 gauges in the dash, when i eventually install a turbo, the boost gauge will go by the cluster somewhere, probably in the d/s vent.

that is exactly why i mounted them on top. The radio is a little closer but visibility was key. As for an advantage or disadvantage to the wiring, i really dont think there is. you will have to take the radio out to make working easier anyway for top or bottom and the distance is no more than about 2 inches. Its really just personal preference i think tongue.gif

Edit: Im working a deal with someone to get some Defi guages. If that goes through, i might be selling the gauges in the picture... Ill keep you guys posted smile.gif
