<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8383/dsc00003.1.jpg"></center><p>for the guys that put the guage in the vent, did you block off the vent to protect the guage from heat?

what did you use to remove the excess plastic from the vent, i have a dremel, but none of my bits would work

Default i built a custom piece more...

i took out the center vent, and built a center piece to fit the gauge
i will post pics next week
i had an extra piece from my dash kit
as far as the vent, jus cut directly behind the vent
take out just the plastic flaps behind the center vent, dont mess with the other 2
oh yah, dont break the center rod
i just took heavy duty scissors to cut it out
good luck
