fd3s777 - I tried to locate a website for Autoexe, where can this one be puchased? Finally a dashboard pod that retains the NAV.

Thanks Jon but when I called up there they said they don't sell the part separate and all it is, is a metal peice with holes drilled in it...Mehh
I'll figure something out...think I'll wrap gauges with some black electric tape so it will sit flush and firm in hole

That is for 60MM gauges correct? Guess I'd have to see one in a car to see how big it really is..

That's wierd, they sold me one. Anyways, for Dan's car, I just took a wooden tongue depresser, trimmed it down, and drilled the holes in it. That worked just fine.

If you don't have navigation then check out the Lotek gauges. They're hot as hell!

Thanks! Got some small details to wrap up - then I think it will be BA...

The time and $$$ difference to make everything look factory is often frusterating; but worth it in the end I think.

I ordered it then I saw high quality pics of it and canceled my order.

It's a piece of garbage that requires some serious hacking to fit right. The finished products just looks like a "stick-on"

I've seen it in person and it does seem to protrude outwards and makes it look out of place. I am also not too thrilled at the fact that you have to cut through your dash but... I still think it looks pretty good because it sinks right into the dash. Gives it that clean, almost stealthy look.

I would have paid 4X the price if it was a ture replacement panel.
