If this were my car and I just had to have the gauges mounted on top of the dashboard, then I would drill down through the dash to run the cable. Yes, you are committing to having gauges there since you will be drilling permanent holes, but it will look a lot cleaner. I would also trim the mounting feet down to make them smaller... then screw the feet to the dashboard with small black screws. At least round the corners to give them not such an edgy feel. The big square feet look out of place on a nice rounded dash. Trim, then hit them with black spray paint since the edges you grind will be bare metal.
Here is an example of how I did them on a friend's STi. I trimmed the feet then ran the cable through foot and out of sight. I used some small black screws to hold the feet down permanently. Last edited by Broadfield; 06-14-2012 at 07:09 PM.. |

Holy Cow that is clean!! thanks for the idea!! when i put it all back together i will be doing that? Did you run wood type screws in or a machine screw/nut on the back with washer so it doesn't pull through? i did always hate the wires there but didn't want to drill holes in the dashboard.

As I said before: Last time I checked this is a Zilvia not a fucking group session to deal with self-esteem issues where everyone is a winner and cares about you, your individuality and lack of taste. |

the title says "the interior thread" and [B]last time I checked[B] i posted a picture of my interior. You act like Zilvia is a big fuckin deal or something lol yeah bro you're cool cuz you're a premium member and have a ton of posts haha. I could care less if you care about me bud. And i didn't realize my interior was in the "drift-yo-interior" style, i feel cool as fuck now BADASS!!!
Nice job bro, you have single handedly opened my eyes to how retarded this forum is. COOL!

Oh, and keep on protecting our asses. I'm sure deep inside everyone respects and thanks you for risking your life. My installer is a Purple Heart Marine that fought in Fallujah. I get to hear plenty of stories and it's still hard for me to believe that you guys risk your life in combat. It's some pretty deep stuff when you think about my everyday life in the States compared to those that are deployed in the military. Not interior pics, but a couple of my installer in Fallujah. It's very surreal when you see pics of someone you know really well in the shit of it. He is the soldier escorting the Iraqi: He is the middle soldier in the following pic... I guess the Marines actually use this picture for training purposes now. He said the shit was just starting to hit the fan as they jumped out of the Amtrac or whatever that is. |

Just seems no matter what gets posted on this forum, someone always has something negative to say but of course thats what happens in forums. I guess i might have done some asuming. And i appreciate the thanks, i know everyone has their own lives and this was the life i chose but it is nice to get a thanks every once in a while. Just want everyone to know my interior isnt going to stay trashy for long, ive got some major plans for it, some of which are inspired by yourself Broadfield, and i was actually planning on hitting you up for some cluster work.

That made me laugh out loud forealz hahaha.
Dude... welcome to Zilvia, if you cant take shit then you should probably go sign up on Nico. A good rule of thumb, if you dont have something nice, dont post it in a thread like this... and wonder why your getting slammed. Wait until youve actually done the work you say your going to do because weve all seen stock interior. As for brown nosing the shit out of Toby now.... I dont know whats up with that when you were butthurt by what we said one page back. And to revive the thread, Nobs cars: |

I love this one! simple yet really clean.
And I agree that Zilvia is kinda on some BS. Everyone is always full of hate. Innovation seems to be really rare too. Sure, I can go to another forum if I don't like it here but why should it ever come to that? Nobody is required to be an ass. It just makes things shitty for everyone else. So cut that shit out.

seriously there wouldnt be hating if everyone just got taste on building up their cars.
i mean if you like your piece of shit to look even shitier, no one is stopping you. but dont bother sharing it (do you really think anybody want to see it? maybe, go find someone that have bad taste like you and share it elsewhere) last, just obey the rules. lets get back on topic. |

Unlike you, I do not see the need to post a pic of a near stock interior.... If you want to see my car, go to the "post pics of your car thread" where it belongs... Not in the wheel fitment thread, not in the interior thread, not in the kouki thread, get the point?
