In the glovebox? Never seen or heard of putting it in the glovebox, I would think you'd want it somewher easy to be seen and such?

Ive never seen/heard of it either. Might as well mount a few in the trunk while youre at it, theyd be just as hard to look at while driving

Maybe he meant center console? I would think that'd be difficult too, or maybe he meant the tape holder box for the 93-96 and... ...well hell I don't know what they call it on the 97+ interiors, the cubby hole.

I'm thinking more of a hidden nitrous and fuel gauge mounted and pointed faceing me with the glove box open, but only visable with the glove box open,It might be a little harder to see from a two O clock position and with the glove box closed of course but open I dont think It would be too bad. I want to look stock as possible.

In this section of LS1 tech It probably would make more sense since Neon lights, looking like your fast, stickers, and appearances are Apperantly more inportant in this part of LS1 tech than hidden nitrous bottles/ guages or being stealth. JMO. Time to put the flame suit on.

Wow, that was beyond random. I believe Luna was more getting to the point that the center console is right next to you, would be easier to see, and would be easier to use. I would say to try it in the cubby hole with some sort of abs plastic cover if you want to hide it when not in use. The glovebox I think would just be too weird of an angle and location to put gauges.

PS - And I guess appearance mods would make more sense in the appearance forum?

Time to put the battery in the glovebox---or,better yet,the console--more even distribution of weight..

I've seen some gauges and switches in the glovebox before... Like bottle pressure for n2o and then digital window switches and stuff... I mean it isnt that far out.

P.S. For those being dicks... just shut the **** up, it isnt ur car and it isnt even that far-fetched so like said before... SHUT UP!

I think u got a good idea going man... try it out and get us some pics...

yea it makes a little more sense to hide something like that in the center console instead of clear across on the other side of the car where you can't see it. I was merely offering a suggestion. Why the hell would you flame a forum you are asking for help on... I hope you dont get any now

ok if its got a v8 you cant refer it to the scum of the rice. i am offended that people even use that word on this sight unless some 16 second civic with a 7 inch exhaust pipe comes on to a thread about 10 second cars. this guy just wants a nice music selection in his car. by the way your 94 probly still has that big ugly tape player in it so shut up.

It's all good, I'm just kidding . I just need to glace at them once in a while and keep the bottle and gauges HIDDEN. It's not too hard to see from the drivers seat for me I dont think. It would be kinda cool to press a button and have the gauges come up automaticly from hidden to not hidden(james bond style).
