Default A/C control relocation

ok so i want to relocate my A/C controls into the glove box so i can put three guages in the place of the ***** in a 98 SS M6. I tried searching and found nothing. So my question is it possible? and where the heck can i find a peice of plastic that looks like stock to fill in the hole, and that i can cut to fit the guages?

I relocated mine ***** in TA to the glovebox and I had a friend take the factory consolepice and mold it to look like this picture. I relocated some stuff but it came out awesome and was relatively cheap.

that looks awesome. i have the digital guages that are all black and only display when they are powered, and i want to put them in place of the ac controls, but i need to find a plastic peice to fill in the ac control slot that matches at least somewhat

Well I had my guy mold a three gauge holder pod into my console piece adnthen he color matched after he was don. the picture look like a differetn color because the light is directly on it, but when you are in the car, the difference is hardly noticeably.

I had mine done up at a car audio store, that does custom work!

just get some abs plastic or you could use plexi and paint it and you could mount it in the same place as the ac controls, as far as moving the controls if you are only going to the glove box the only thing you will have to do is extend the wires for the far left **** because the middle is cable driven and the right one is vacum lines and i think you will have enough of both to move it over to the glove box if you pull the controls out you will see what i am talking about

I had no problems moving mine. They all work just fine.
