I had a dash plaque made should I place it on the dash by the passenger side or on the main part of the dash right under the DIC Controls Take a look.
I know it blurry but it's the best I could take

Seems like the best place for it. Or in front of the gear selector, but it would be looked over there.

youre going to need some thicker double sided tape, because without going out to my car ( its effing freezing out ) i think that spot under the DIC controls has a bit of a curve to it ...

its not that its the best spot, i think its really the only spot unless you put it on the passenger airbag ... which wouldnt be a bad spot either ... because lets face it, shes a garage queen

I would say in front of the geear selector area or the passenger side dash would be a good spot for it.

Will it fit betwen the two left/ right vent adjusters that are located directly above the radio? It might look nice there. Or in the area between the radio and hvac controls. (I like things to be centered! )

It has a bow to it and the shifter blocks it.

1. No a little to long by the vent's
2. If I change out the radio to a Nav System I would have to remove it.

True, but you can buy more two sided tape and reapply it anywhere you want. I keep a couple of rolls in my toolbox, it is very handy.

It is by 3M. I got it at one of the parts stores. It comes in a roll. One is probably 1/4" - 1/2" wide, the other is maybe 3/4" wide. It is the same stuff that is used for emblems and moldings.

1. Pass-air bag
2. top gear selector (in drive it will be seen great.)
3. Under DIC controls

I think it would be fine below the DIC controls.. If it were mine, I would probably put the emblem in front of the shifter though...

yeah, under the DIC controls on the silver part, or on the black plastic next to the ignition under the DIC ... looks to be the best spot ...

Post that pic! I had a factory GXP badge on the passender side of the dash, but it just wasnt strong enough to hold for very long. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did of getting it to stay!
